Baby You Can't Drive My Car

Homer picks up "chicken" nuggets at Krusty Burger’s drive-through and eats them while he drives recklessly to the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. At the entrance, the car hits a speed-bump and crashes into Mr. Burns' office while Burns is showing Smithers the only Fabergé chicken; Burns fires Homer. As Marge scolds Homer and insists he finds a new job, a news item for a startup company, CarGo, airs including a press event where Mayor Quimby touts jobs that will benefit the city. At CarGo, Homer interviews to be a "highly passive human" road tester of their self-driving car. The company founders see his bad driving record as an asset, and he is hired after passing their final test: sitting for hours doing nothing. His work amounts to enjoying various activities while the self-driving cars road test themselves.

One day after work, Marge arrives at CarGo to drive him home, and they enjoy the company’s cafeteria's free food. As Homer gives Marge a tour of the high-tech campus, they note recreational employee perks like a rock-climbing wall and game room go unused because the coders never stop working. Deciding to help the coders enjoy themselves, they call them down to join them instigating a foosball tournament; which the founders see as a "paradigm-blasting", team-building exercise which invigorates creativity. The founders want CarGo to be the leader in employee satisfaction, so promote Homer and make him and Marge a team to boost employee morale. When Marge and Homer talk employees into trying out the company's regulation ice hockey rink with their office chairs, Homer videophones the activity to Lenny and Carl, who become the start of a mass exodus of employees who quit the nuclear plant to work for a fun employer. In response, Burns and Smithers work undercover at CarGo: where Burns commends the success of providing excellent employee motivation. Meanwhile, Marge and Homer head home in a CarGo car only to realize it listens to their conversations and takes them to random places based on things they randomly talk about. They report the problem to the founders, but are told it is a part of CarGo’s ''Sponsored Rides'' program selling users’ data to corporations; and that this insider information is covered by the non-disclosure agreement. Horrified at the unethical manipulation, Homer quits and vows to sue the company.

As Homer drives in his own car to Moe's Tavern, he finds Burns there; delivered to the bar because he said one of the phrases from Moe’s keyword optimization list with CarGo. Homer, Burns and Smithers team up to stop the cars to end the company. With their CarGo credentials, they breach the main computer server room where Smithers works to reconfigure the deep neural network and disable the cars' fuel cells; but Marge confronts them with a Nerf bazooka gun. After pleading with Homer not to destroy the fun she is having from her job, she goes to report the situation to the founders but notices CarGo’s next phase, ''Sponsored Lives'', an effort to use the cars' keychain fob to eavesdrop everywhere the keys go; even the bathroom. An appalled Marge then helps Smithers shut down the company by shooting a Nerf dart at the server keyboard. After the cars shut down, Springfielders are relieved and CarGo is bankrupted. Homer asks Burns to consider hiring him and Marge to work together at the plant, but Burns refuses and angrily begins to remember why he fired Homer until Marge shoots him in the head with a Nerf dart, causing him to forget. Homer and Marge then go home "self-driving the old-fashioned way" — drinking wine in Homer's car riding on a tow truck.

In the epilogue, the founders cite CarGo as a "bump in the road", and announce to their employees a new way to reach consumers; multi-lingual talking tattoos. During the closing credits, a scene from earlier in the episode shows Homer and Marge putting their CarGo car in "snuggle mode". They begin to make love in the car until it stops at the church, much to Reverend Lovejoy's frustration.

The Best of Enemies (2019 film)

1971: In Durham, North Carolina, Ann Atwater tries to get better housing conditions for poor black people, and is ignored by the all-white judge panel. C. P. Ellis is the president of the KKK, and has a family with children. He loves and cares for his family. Ann's daughters' school catches on fire (whether by accident or arson is unclear), and CP is afraid that the black children will come to the white schools. The city council makes a finding the school is still usable, so the NAACP helps file a lawsuit. The judicial decision is to bring in a proven mediation expert, Bill Riddick, who sets up a meeting with the both of them.

At first, both of them refuse since they hate each other, but then they are convinced. CP is a proud racist and refuses to sit with Bill and Ann, since they are black and he is white. Bill tells them the charrettes are designed to help groups develop solutions, so this one will tackle school segregation and other educational issues for the whole Durham school district.

They agree to pick some people randomly from the group to vote on the issues at the end of the meeting sessions. CP tries to talk to folks selected to vote, but is mostly rebuffed. A black reverend asks Bill if he can play gospel music at the end of each session. CP hotly refuses, saying if the blacks want to sing gospel music at the charrette, he should be allowed to put out his KKK items to display. Ann refuses, but Bill agrees.

At one meeting, a group of black teenagers tries to destroy the KKK items, but Ann stops and tells them to instead understand what the KKK is. All this is observed by CP from afar.

Then Bill makes the blacks and whites in their group sit next to each other in the cafeteria and eat. He makes CP and Ann sit together alone. They eat in tense silence, then Ann asks CP if he has a boy in Murdock. CP hotly says that he won't talk about his boy. Murdock is a facility that takes care of disabled boys where his son with Down Syndrome resides.

CP is called to Murdock, and he rushes over. His disabled son, Larry, has been put in the same room with another disabled boy. The other boy is screaming, upsetting Larry. CP demands his son be placed in a room of his own. But the nurses tell him he can't afford it. Later, Ann visits Larry and asks a favor from Bernadette, who works there, to put Larry in his own room.

Bill takes Ann, CP, and the rest of their group to visit the black school that was burned. CP is shocked by how dark and smelly it is, thanks to the damage. Ann's daughter says hi to Ann, but looks at CP like he's evil when she finds out who he is. CP's wife, Mary, is overjoyed with Ann's help, and she visits Ann to thank her. Ann asks her if CP has always been racist, and Mary says yes. Later, CP expresses his confusion over his encounter with Ann's daughter, and how she looked at him like he was a monster to Mary. However, Mary, frustrated at CP's refusal to change even after what Ann did for them, angrily asks CP what he honestly expected. She questions why he's really doing this. Her statement rattles CP and makes him question if he is in fact doing more harm than good as his actions with the KKK have made him a monster to children such as Ann's.

The night before the final vote, CP's KKK troublemaking friends go and threaten the selected voters to vote for segregation. CP finds out about this and is enraged—especially when he learns one of their targets was Lee, who owns a store and served in Vietnam. They are close friends and Lee employs a black manager named Emmett. Having talked to Lee earlier, CP had learned Lee and Emmett served together and it's heavily implied Emmett saved Lee's life. Ann also finds about it and screams at CP, calling him a coward.

During the voting, all the issues pass, coming down to the final issue of desegregation. One by one, the voters vote. Ann votes for it, and CP, surprising everyone, does the same, after realizing the KKK is hateful. He makes a speech and rips up his KKK membership card, much to the fury of his watching KKK friends. They threaten him and try to set the gas station he owns on fire, but CP puts it out. Now the white community won't buy his gas anymore, his station is going out of business. Ann and Bill visit him with smiles and they bring in the black community to buy from him instead.

It is revealed that the real life Ann and CP went around to different cities together, to talk about their experiences and remained friends to the end of CP's life, with Ann giving the eulogy at his funeral.

Project Power

In near-future New Orleans, a mysterious distributor offers a free supply of "Power"—a pill that grants various superpowers for five minutes—to a group of drug dealers, including one named Newt.

Six weeks later, Newt's teenage cousin Robin, a dealer herself, is nearly robbed by customers seeking Power. She is rescued by NOPD Officer Frank Shaver, one of her regular buyers. Art, a man hunting for the distributor "Biggie", tracks down Newt, who dies after a struggle when he overdoses on Power. Frank foils a bank robbery by a Power-enhanced thief, but is suspended for using Power himself. His captain reveals that government personnel are pressuring him to terminate any investigation into Power, and gives Frank a picture of the man they suspect to be the source of the drug: Art.

Using Newt's phone to find and abduct Robin, Art forces her to take him to the drug cartel's safehouse. He is shot while eliminating several of the cartel's men, and discovers that Power users throughout New Orleans are being monitored as test subjects for the drug. Art bonds with Robin as they treat his wounds, and reveals that after leaving the military, he was recruited by Teleios, a private defense contractor who experimented on him to create superpowers. His daughter Tracy, born after the experiments, exhibited powers without ever taking the drug, and was abducted by Wallace, a Teleios operative.

Art and Robin find Biggie hosting a private demonstration of Project Power for a potential buyer near the Superdome, where large groups of Saints fans are arriving for a home game. Biggie claims that Power represents "the next evolution of the human species", with the pill's powers derived from the abilities of animals, such as the chameleon or the wolverine frog. Art interrogates Biggie at gunpoint and learns of a ship, the ''Genesis'', but Frank intervenes, having tracked other users to the demonstration. Biggie takes a dose of Power, forcing Art, Robin, and Frank to flee as Art kills Biggie in an explosion.

Frank arrests Art and informs his captain, but Art explains that the Power epidemic in New Orleans is mass testing to stabilize the drug, and that Tracy is the source of the drug's powers. Having convinced Frank that his captain is actually taking orders from Teleios, Art purposely has himself captured by Teleios and taken aboard the ''Genesis''. Frank and Robin infiltrate the ship, and Art persuades a guard to free him. Frank and Art kill Wallace, while Robin finds Tracy and reunites her with her father.

As the four attempt to flee, Robin is captured by Dr. Gardner, the head of Project Power, who demands Tracy in exchange for Robin's life. Art confronts Gardner, using Power, which gives him the ability of a pistol shrimp to finally kill Gardner and her men. Despite this costing Art his life, Tracy ultimately resurrects him with her powers. They all escape the ship.

Frank intends to expose Project Power to the press, while Art decides to move on. He gives Robin his truck and a bag full of money to cover her mother's medical needs, telling her to use the greatness inside of her. Art and Tracy depart, finally free. Meanwhile, Robin begins a new career as a rapper.

Kingdom (film)

Orphaned by war, Xin is sold as a slave to a small village, where he befriends Piao, another slave. Growing up, Xin and Piao train together, dreaming of escaping their low statuses and eventually becoming great generals. One day, Chang Wen Jun visits their village in search of soldiers to aid the king Ying Zheng, but he will only accept Piao. A few days later, a mortally wounded Piao appears at Xin's house, warning him that Ying Zheng's brother, Cheng Jiao, has started a power struggle and urging him to go to a meet-up point marked on a map he gives him. Xin is forced to flee as his village is set on fire and the villagers are murdered by Cheng Jiao's army.

At the meet-up point, Xin finds Ying Zheng, but they are ambushed by an assassin. Xin realizes that Piao was accepted into the army to serve as Ying Zheng's body double due bearing a resemblance to him. After the assassin is killed, the two escape through a mountain path with help from Heliao Diao, a Mountain Tribe child who had accompanied the bandits who had previously ambushed Xin. As the three reach the bamboo forest, they are attacked by another assassin. Despite blaming Ying Zheng for Piao's death, Xin defeats the assassin, but he is poisoned by one of his darts. The three take refuge at an ancient summer resort to help Xin recuperate, while Xin learns Piao had voluntarily sacrificed himself to serve Ying Zheng and about Ying Zheng's bitter rivalry with Cheng Jiao.

Ying Zheng's remaining army finally arrive at the summer resort, including Chang Wen Jun, who was previously assumed to have been killed by Wang Qi. The army is outnumbered by Cheng Jiao's army of 80,000 soldiers, while Ying Zheng admits that Lü Buwei, the only person who can outmatch him, is also after the throne. Ying Zheng's army resorts to seeking help from the Mountain Tribe, a former ally of the Qin royal family that had been betrayed centuries ago. On the way, they are captured by the Mountain Tribe and brought forth to the chieftain, Yang Duan He. Yang Duan He orders Xin to be beheaded to test Ying Zheng's loyalty, but Xin's dedication to Ying Zheng's goal and mannerisms impress her, after which she announces that the Mountain Tribe will be affiliated with the Qin royalty again.

Ying Zheng's army arrives at the royal palace disguised as part of the Mountain Tribe, under the pretense of helping Cheng Jiao fight against Lü Buwei. Jie Shi, Cheng Jiao's advisor, allows only 50 people inside, and 10 of them to meet with Cheng Jiao. Inside, Ying Zheng initiates an attack, while Xin, Diao, and Bi use the underground passageway to reach the throne room and assassinate Cheng Jiao. Xin's group is intercepted by Zuo Ci, Ying Zheng's former general, who sends Lang Kai the Executioner after them. Xin kills Lang Kai with the help of the Mountain Tribe, and when they reach Cheng Jiao's room, Zuo Ci defeats Xin's group. Xin's memory of Piao and belief in his own dreams pushes him to continue and he kills Zuo Ci. Cheng Jiao's council flees, but Diao gouges out Jie Shi's eye with a dart and is stabbed by him before he dies. While Diao is safe thanks to wearing armor, Cheng Jiao uses their distraction to escape.

In the courtyard, Cheng Jiao confronts Ying Zheng, but is quickly defeated. Ying Zheng spares him, but he beats him down to punish him for the suffering he caused. In the midst of this, Wang Qi and his army appear in the courtyard, where he inquires Ying Zheng what he will do as king, under the condition that he will behead him if he does not provide a satisfactory answer. Ying Zheng vows that he plans to unite China under the Warring States period, even using force as means to ensure that there would be peace in the future. Satisfied with his answer, Wang Qi allies with Ying Zheng and orders Cheng Jiao's remaining army to retreat. With the battle won, Xin revels in the glory of making both his and Piao's dreams come true.

Caligula... The Untold Story

Roman Emperor Gaius Caesar Caligula, alone in his bed, is plagued by nightmares in which a man, his head covered in a helmet, tries to shoot him with an arrow. The poet Domitius approaches and tries to assassinate him with a dagger, but the attempt is thwarted by Ulmar, Caligula's bodyguard. Domitius ends up losing his tongue and having his tendons cut at Caligula's behest.

Riding along the beach with Messala, Caligula encounters a group of Christians, among whom he spots Livia. He rapes the woman in the woods in front of her young lover Aetius, a consul's son. While being raped, Livia commits suicide with Caligula's dagger. The emperor orders Messala to kill Aetius on the spot. He spreads word that they were killed by fanatical Christians, and persecutes them. The senators, however, do not believe that the peaceful Christians were responsible and continue to plot against Caligula, discussing their options.

In his nightmares, Caligula is visited by the shades of Aetius and Livia. At Livia's funeral, held on a beach, Miriam Celsia, close friend and an Egyptian priestess of the god Anubis, speaks against a Christian burial - the idea being that Livia's God failed to defend her - and in favor of cremation according to Anubis, who speaks of vengeance. The Christians comply.

Lucretius presents sumptuous construction plans to Caligula and a group of senators. To finance the project, Caligula announces he will auction off all his belongings at a banquet with beautiful women and costly admission. He then feigns wine poisoning. One of the senators offers to give his life for his well-being, and Caligula stabs him with his sword. Again in his private rooms, the emperor makes fun of crippled Domitius using his sex slaves.

In a temple, Miriam sacrifices her virginity to Anubis in exchange for vengeance on Livia's murder. She is then approached by senator Cornelius who wants to aid her. Caligula's cavalry capture novice Vestal Virgins as the chief attraction of the banquet. In a swimming pool, they are deflowered by slaves approaching underwater with phalli. Other women, among them Miriam, apply for the orgy and are selected by a eunuch, who then trains them in the art of love. During the banquet (which involves jugglers, a bloody gladiatorial combat and the masturbation of a horse), Caligula falls in love with Miriam and his bodyguard Ulmar leads her to the imperial chambers where Miriam and Caligula have sex with each other. When Cornelius attempts to kill Caligula, Miriam unexpectedly saves the emperor's life, killing Cornelius.

Caligula takes deadly revenge on the senators involved in the plot in a number of gruesome ways. In the meantime, Miriam has become passionately tied to Caligula, who announces he will marry her despite her slave status. She discovers Livia's amulet and becomes torn between vengeance and love. When Ulmar offers to help her escape, she refuses. She can no longer kill Caligula but has to know the truth about Livia's death and therefore administers him a hallucinogenic potion. In his ensuing vision, Caligula is approached and plagued in the beyond by the shades of the people he murdered. One is Miriam. As she approaches, he stabs her with a sword he found on the floor, shouting "You're just a dream. But I'm still alive!" When he realizes he is no longer dreaming and has actually stabbed her, he cries.

Riding again on the beach with Messala, Caligula is approached by senators, praetorian guards and his uncle Claudius. Caligula announces the cancellation of his project for a new Rome and asks that they tell the gods he has woken from his dream. Ulmar, wearing the helmet from Caligula's initial dream, shoots arrows through Messala's neck and Caligula's heart. Dying, Caligula says, "I'm still alive! Miriam, I'm still...alive."

Polis Evo 2

In Bongsun, Pahang, a shootout occurs between the Malaysian police and terrorist members of al-Minas. The shooting ends with the leader of al-Minas being heavily injured and captured, while his brother Saif Hasyam, escapes and vowing revenge.

She handles intel to her boss, but then realised her boss was Riky's mole, who warned Riky about the police raid which allowed him to escape just in time. He tries to kill her, but Rian manages to shoot him.

At the crime scene, Sani and Khai received a tip that the al-Minas faction is having a trade at Pulau Cherong (fictional island) with Riky. They head to the island with two more officers, Lah and Dan. During the reconnaissance, they stumbled Rian again, whose intention was to find and capture Riky when the deal became botched.

They rescued the 200 villagers, along with Sani and takes them shelter. Sani blames himself for Dan's death, which Khai tells him to proceed his duty to protect his country. They also find a dead Riky, where his cellphone reveals Rian's former boss was his mole, and the two officers apologize to Rian for not trusting her.

As soon as the terrorists received the fake body, the bomb exploded, and the seven officers start their attack. The four UKAP operators are killed, while Khai is heavily injured in a fistfight. Sani kills the remaining attackers, but is shot by Saif. As Saif prepares to execute him, Khai arrives just in time to shoot Saif.

The duo officers survived the incident and are recovering from their wounds. The film ends with them enjoying the view by the beach.

Honest Thief

Tom Dolan, a former US Marine and demolitions expert, has become a successful bank robber, earning the nickname the "In-and-Out Bandit". He turns over a new leaf when he meets and falls in love with Annie Wilkins, a psychology graduate student working at a storage unit facility.

A year into their relationship, Tom attempts to turn himself in to the FBI in exchange for a short sentence so he can put his criminal past behind him. FBI Agent Sam Baker brushes him off, having received several false confessions in the past, and sends subordinates John Nivens and Ramon Hall to interview him. Tom directs them to the storage unit where his money is kept hidden. However, Nivens starts having corruptive lucrative emotions and convinces Hall to steal the money and keep it for themselves. Nivens and Hall go rogue and confront Tom at gunpoint at his hotel where he reveals that he has two-thirds of the money hidden elsewhere as a bargaining chip, but Baker unexpectedly arrives. Nivens murders Baker, and Tom is forced to flee with Annie when she also arrives at the hotel.

Tom tells Annie everything and orders her to flee, fearing for her safety. However, she returns to the storage unit to get security camera evidence that shows Nivens and Hall stealing the money. Nivens and Hall show up and Nivens attacks and knocks Annie unconscious, but an increasingly reluctant Hall tricks him into thinking that she is dead and takes the evidence, unbeknownst to Nivens. Tom finds Annie and races her to the hospital. He then escapes from police pursuit, defeats Baker's partner Sean Meyers in a fistfight, and tells him what really happened before escaping. Nivens goes to the hospital to kill Annie, but can't get near her because Meyers is sitting in her room. Subsequently, Meyers realizes that Tom is telling the truth after seeing that Nivens' story doesn't add up and returning Hall's gun to him which Tom had given to Meyers, unloaded, as proof during their fight.

Tom ambushes Hall in his home and convinces him to give up the security footage and the location of the safe house where the money was kept. Hall warns Tom that Annie's life is in danger and Tom gets Annie out of the hospital and takes her to a safe place before destroying Nivens' house. Tom then sends Annie to give Meyers the security footage and lead him to the rest of the money in another storage unit as a show of good faith. Nivens flees to the safe house and meets up with Hall, where Tom confronts them. When Nivens discovers Hall turned over the security footage, he murders him in a rage, wounds Tom, and escapes. Anticipating his actions, Tom plants a dud bomb in Nivens' car, forcing him to call in a bomb squad to disarm it. Meyers has Nivens arrested and recovers the stolen money from his car. After Nivens is gone, it’s revealed that Tom had the remorseful Hall keep a hidden voice recorder on his body which had caught Nivens confessing to Baker's murder as well as Nivens murdering Hall.

Meyers receives the voice recorder, exonerating Tom for the murder of Baker. With his name cleared of the murder charges, Tom turns himself in, and Meyers promises to try to get a lighter sentence for Tom. Meyers expresses his respect for Tom's actions in both taking down Nivens and turning himself in for Annie, suggesting that in other circumstances, Tom would make a good FBI agent.

The Flame Bearer

Uhtred fails again to capture Bebbanburg. His son-in-law, the pagan warlord Sigtryggr, king of Northumbria, asks for help against invading West Saxons who seem intent on breaking the recent truce with Aethelflaed, the ruler of Mercia and King Edward of Wessex’s sister. Uhtred’s men are outnumbered by invading Scots led by Constantin intent on making Bebbanburg their own. However, Uhtred's cousin is willing to wait out the siege behind the nearly impregnable walls of his fortress.

Uhtred figures out that Aethelhelm – a wealthy and powerful Saxon warlord and King Edward’s father in-law – is planning to attack Edward’s men and make it look like Sigtryggr did it and so start the war that has been at least delayed a few years by the truce. It seems inevitable that Edward will want to drive all Danes from the north of the country and bring about the Christian Saxon kingdom his father Alfred dreamed of.

Aethelhelm wants to ensure that his grandson Aelfweard – Edward's second son – eventually becomes ruler of a united England. So he planned for Aethelstan (Edward's first son by his first wife) to be killed leading Edward's men in an ambush. However, Edward sends his trusted warrior Brunulf to lead his men instead. Uhtred sees through Aethelhelm's machinations and rescues Brunulf and his men from the fake Danish attack. He interrupts a meeting between Edward, Aethelflaed and Sigtryggr, where Aethelhelm’s clergy are war-mongering and reveals the truth of Aethelhelm's plot.

Edward has the prisoners Uhtred brought to show him executed. Queen Aethelflaed reveals that she is dying and can no longer protect Aethelstan. So Uhtred claims Aethelstan as his hostage in order to protect him and reconfirms the details of the treaty. Sigtryggr, his commitment to the truce proven, returns to Jorvik.

Uhtred then turns his attention back to Bebbanburg, which is besieged by the Scots. He pretends he has given up and moves all his men, women, children, goods, horses and cattle out of Dunholm and spreads rumours that he is sailing across the sea to Frisia. Instead he intends to use a ruse to get into Bebbanburg. While he is making preparations in Grimesbi, he realises that the ships coming in to the port and stocking up with goods are a supply fleet commanded by Aethelhelm. He despairs of ever winning back Bebbanburg because Aethelhelm's ships and men will get to the fortress before he does and provide both food and hundreds of Saxon reinforcements. His prayer for a miracle is answered: Northmen allied with the Scots burn most of Aethelhelm's ships and in the chaos, Uhtred escapes Grimesbi undetected.

He disguises his ships as Aethelhelm's supply ships and, chased by Aethelhelm's remaining warships, fools the guards in Bebbanburg into opening one of the fortress gates. Unbeknown to Uhtred, his son has helped Aethelstan stow away, and the prince quickly kills Aethelhelm's champion. After much fighting, Uhtred finally defeats both Aethelhelm and his cousin, killing the latter when he refuses to fight him one-on-one, and takes back his beloved Bebbanburg.

Aethelstan persuades Uhtred not to kill Aethelhelm, but to ransom him so he can replenish his coffers and weaken Aethelhelm. Aethelstan also suggests Uhtred keep Aethelhelm's daughter – who was supposed to be wed to Uhtred’s cousin as part of the resupply deal – as a hostage and this is much to Uhtred's son's liking, as he has taken a shine to her. Uhtred then tells the Scots to leave his land, which they do.

The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States

The conflict begins unintentionally, with a North Korean KN-06 unit in Ongjin, near the Korean Demilitarized Zone shooting down a civilian Air Busan Airbus A320, which was flying off-course and without a transponder due to a brief loss of power in the cockpit, having mistaken it for a U.S. stealth aircraft. South Korean President Moon Jae-in orders a retaliatory attack on North Korea without the approval of the United States, firing six missiles at the Headquarters of the Korean People's Army Air and Anti-Air Force near Pyongyang and a residence of Kim Jong-un.

Following the missile attack, North Korea's leadership, lacking communications infrastructure, misinterprets Tweets from U.S. President Donald Trump so as to believe that a decapitation strike is in-progress. North Korea launches nuclear missiles in the hopes of staving off further U.S.-South Korean attacks, with nuclear bombs detonating over Seoul, Busan, Pyeongtaek and Daegu in South Korea and Tokyo and Yokohama in Japan. Missiles launched at Guam and Okinawa fail to reach their targets. Negotiations at the headquarters of the United Nations in New York City fail to resolve the conflict.

The United States launches a retaliatory conventional strike on North Korea, but fail to locate the vehicle-mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles in North Korea's arsenal. North Korea proceeds to launch 13 nuclear-tipped missiles at the United States. The Ground-Based Interceptors at Fort Greely fail to intercept the incoming ICBMs, which detonate over Honolulu, Hawaii, Jupiter, Florida, Arlington County, Virginia, and Manhattan, New York. President Trump evacuates from Mar-a-Lago aboard Air Force One, narrowly avoiding the nuclear explosion. Kim Jong-un subsequently commits suicide at a bunker in Myohyangsan, and Mike Pence succeeds Trump as President of the United States.

Yelena explains to Michele that she needs blood transfusions from him and Natasha in order to be able to reinforce since she is belonging to the typology of first-generation specials. Transfusions are performed by the Doctor KA, a doctor belonging to the "normal" who has worked with Yelena for some time; she tells her son that Andrey has been mysteriously kidnapped and is convinced that the abductor is the cruel Igor Zavarov, a Russian oligarch known to her as a bitter enemy and exploiter of the Specials. Yelena's plan is to help kidnap Zavarov with the help of Michele and Natasha in order to stop his campaign against the Specials and save Andrey. The kidnapping must be carried out while Zavarov is in Trieste for the inauguration of his new pipeline and Yelena entrusts Michele with the task of entering the offices of the police station and stealing the security plans for the day of the inauguration of the gas pipeline, discovering the exact movements of Zavarov. Through his invisibility, Michele succeeds very well in the task by making his mother proud of him.

The family begin to know each other and love each other: the two siblings are confiding some of the key episodes of their lives lived in those years. Natasha says she was taken to Morocco and entrusted to a good woman, who later died. Her brother became the legal guardian of Natasha and began to mistreat her until she tried to take advantage of her. This until the girl discovered her power, just before being saved by her mother; one day Natasha is also intrigued by a talisman spotted in a jewellery store, Michele uses his power to steal it for her and, together, deliver the jewel to their mother who, joyful to be re-forming her family, wear it saying that she would have never taken it off.

That night Yelena remembers the events following the flight with Andrey and the children. While the man had managed to save himself, Yelena had been captured again and locked up in an institute where, with the arrival of Zavarov, the experiments on Specials to try to understand the origin of their power became real torture. Only Doctor KA showed a certain respect for them but Zavarov did not care about their lives and when, during an experiment, Katia the elastic girl dies, Yelena tells Artiglio that it was time to unleash the rebellion. The Specials took the power of the fortress but they could not stop Zavarov who therefore saved himself on a helicopter. While most of the Specials decided to return to life by hiding their skills, Yelena wanted to find her children, with the help of Artiglio and Doctor KA.

Once the time for the inauguration of the gas pipeline has arrived, Yelena and Natasha tell Michele to say goodbye to anyone belonging to his past life and Michele goes to the gym where Stella and his friend Candela rehearse their last issue of artistic gymnastics, so as to see for the last time the girl he loved. As he is about to leave, the boy notices a man and a woman, Cinetica and Morpheus, stealing a wallet through her paranormal modalities and, recognizing them as Specials, the boy follows them. The two enter the villa where Michele lives with his mother and sister and follows them down to the basement, where a meeting is held in which there are Yelena, Natasha, Doctor KA and the Specials who had been kidnapped in Europe. Yelena, who is the leader of the group, exposes an extreme plan that shows how the tortures by Zavarov had made her so rebellious that she became even cruel: at the inauguration of the gas pipeline, the group will go to the warehouse where it is located the generator plant and pour inside it an explosive substance which will be driven by the intensity of the fire of Natasha and provoke a great explosion that will exterminate in addition to Zavarov even a large part of the population of Trieste. So it was Yelena who kidnapped the Specials so that they could use them as allies in that operation that will serve to destroy a good part of the normals that Zavarov belongs to and give the sign of the supremacy of the Specials over them. Michele now knows the truth and would like to warn the police but Natasha, bequeathed by Andrey, can hear her brother's thoughts and spots him out.

Michele is locked in the cell in the basement, reproaches his mother of not being able to act in the first person being too weak to do it, and Yelena gives him a bitter news: Doctor KA has managed to combine the DNA of Second Generation Specials of Natasha and Michele in a machine called UTERO, thanks to which Yelena and the Special allies have regained their full strength. That's why the mother so badly needed her children. Natasha, who had not had an acceptable life like that of Michele, is determined to follow her mother to the end while the boy discovers that next to his cell is the one in which his father is locked up, kidnapped by his mother and segregated there for all the time as for not having approved the extreme rebellion of Yelena. Andrey, through the mental connection he has with his son, shows him the truth about what happened to Giovanna: Yelena killed her. After sneaking into Giovanna's car and having anaesthetized her, Yelena pushed the car and the policewoman off a cliff. Michele, by the anger and frustration of what was revealed to him, takes control of his mental power of manipulation of the molecules and destroys the walls of the cells.

Michele and Andrey reach the pipeline pumping station where Yelena and the team are about to start the plan. Natasha, supported by her mother, is preparing to strike the generator with fire, but Michele communicates telepathically with her and shows her the images of Giovanna's murder so as to make her aware of the unkempt, unreachable meadows of her mother. In tears, Natasha turns her disagreement over her mother, disappointed by her constant lies as a function of her goals. Yelena turns invisible and brings a burning beam to the generator; Andrey finds and hears the thoughts of the woman, identifies her and starts to chase her. In the end, the two of them fall embraced against a blunt iron that protrudes from the floor, impaling both of them.

Michele has saved his friends and the city but also Zavarov, the three Special helpers leave suggesting that they will continue their hunting all alone. Michele confronts Stella, who has now figured out who saved her that night and asks her to keep the secret. In front of their parents' bodies, the twins hug each other. In the end, the brother and sister embrace on the back of a bus and Michele shows a normal child his power, and then ask him not to reveal it to anyone: he realizes, therefore, another relationship of trust between special and normal that her mother had not believed possible.

Arachnids in the UK

Having returned to Sheffield, the Thirteenth Doctor goes to meet with Yasmin's family alongside Ryan, whilst Graham heads home to grieve over Grace's death. After Yasmin leaves to pick up her mother, Najia Khan, the Doctor and Ryan encounter arachnologist Dr. Jade McIntyre while trying to meet the family's next door neighbour. Gaining entry, the group discover its owner, McIntyre's colleague, has been killed by a large spider. After Graham rejoins them upon having found something similar at his house, the group learn that McIntyre has been investigating bizarre behaviour patterns in spider ecosystems, after suspending experiments with spiders at her laboratory. The Doctor deduces that the giant spiders and behaviour patterns are linked to a recently built luxury hotel complex, which Najia worked at until being fired earlier that day by the hotel's wealthy American owner and prospective presidential candidate, Jack Robertson.

Arriving at the hotel and joined by Robertson, Yasmin and Najia, the group learn the spiders have infested the complex and that they are now sealed in by them. While Ryan and Graham capture a spider for examination, the rest of the group discover the spiders came from abandoned mine tunnels beneath the complex, discovering the bodies of Robertson's bodyguard and personal assistant. Further investigation soon reveals the tunnels were used as a dumping ground for industrial waste by one of Robertson's companies. McIntyre, who revealed to the Doctor her experiments involved genetically modified spiders, realises the giant spiders are the offspring of a specimen that had been dumped by the same company, on the belief it was dead. The Doctor theorises the toxicity of the dumping ground mutated them further.

To kill them humanely, the group lure the offspring into a panic room Robertson built into the hotel, before encountering the specimen itself in the ballroom. Upon finding it, the Doctor and McIntyre realise the spider is dying from breathing difficulties due to its massive size. Before the Doctor can ensure it dies humanely, Robertson kills it with his bodyguard's gun, much to her disgust. With the situation resolved, Ryan, Yasmin and Graham contemplate returning to their normal lives but decide to see more of the universe with the Doctor, much to her delight.

The Witchfinders

The Thirteenth Doctor and her companions arrive in 1612 Lancashire near Pendle Hill. At a nearby village they find an old woman accused of witchcraft being dunked, and the Doctor tries to save her, but fails. She attempts to prevent further trials by pretending to be the Witchfinder General, fooling landowner and magistrate Becka Savage. King James arrives, complicating matters, as he assumes she is Graham's assistant. Meanwhile, Yasmin finds the old woman being buried by her grand-daughter, Willa Twiston, who is also Becka's cousin, and saves her from a tendril made of mud. The Doctor realises the cause of the witch hunt is of alien origin when recent victims begin to reanimate.

While her companions follow the reanimated corpses, the Doctor is accused of witchcraft when confronting Becka over her hiding something. The Doctor attempts to reason with James before being dunked, escaping from her bonds underwater. Afterwards she notes how Becka could not bear touching the tree used to dunk her. As her reanimated victims approach, Becka reveals that she was infected by an alien entity while chopping down the tree atop the Hill. Becka started the witch trials hoping to find a cure.

An alien entity takes over Becka's body. Speaking through her, the entity reveals herself to be queen of a race called the Morax. The tree Becka chopped down is in fact a disguised alien prison keeping the Morax war criminals within, its systems now damaged and malfunctioning. The escaping Morax intend that their king possess James and conquer Earth. The Doctor uses parts of the tree to save James and restore the prison systems. While the other Morax are forced out of their host bodies, the queen refuses to leave Becka's body. James kills them both. The following day, James tells the Doctor that all records of the events will be erased before he and Willa watch in surprise as the group leave in the TARDIS.

### Continuity

Towards the end of the episode, when entering the TARDIS, the Doctor says "A brilliant man once said, 'any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.'" This is a reference to the third of British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke's three laws, which was also referenced by the Seventh Doctor and his companion Ace in the episode "Battlefield," Captain Jack Harkness in the ''Torchwood'' episode "Immortal Sins," and to a degree by the Twelfth Doctor in the episode "The Girl Who Died."

### Outside reference

Towards the end of the episode, when warning King James not to resume the witch trials, Graham partially quotes Quentin Tarantino's version of biblical verse Ezekiel 25:17, from his film ''Pulp Fiction''.

### Historical reference

When King James and Ryan talk in the forest, King James explained that his mother (Mary Queen of Scots) killed his father, a reference to the historical speculation.

Doraemon: Nobita's Chronicle of the Moon Exploration

One morning, Nobita was woken up by his mother's call for being late for school. He ran downstairs but unfortunately fell and was complaining but the TV grabs his attention about something mysterious on the moon. When he arrived at school, he told his classmates that it was the Moon Rabbit when everyone was discussing about the news but not only did anyone believe him but he was also laughed at. He tries to make them believe and started imitating the rabbits making ricecakes and hits his teacher in the process. He was punished. When he tells Doraemon about this, even he laughs and explains him that this is not possible. But Nobita was determined, so Doraemon had to take out a gadget, the "Divergent View Badge" and created an atmosphere on the moon. Using the animal clay, they created Moonbit and returned to their home. Nobita's Mother tells him to bring susuki grass for Moon Viewing Ceremony. There he saw a boy, but when he called him suddenly he disappeared.

The next day, a new student named Luca arrives, and Nobita was surprised to see that it was the same boy he saw yesterday. As soon as Nobita reaches home, he asks Doraemon to take him to the Kingdom. Upon reaching there, they saw that the bamboos plants were glowing which was the effect of the "Lightning Moss", spread by them earlier. Now, Nobita is in the playground with Shizuka, Gian and Suneo and he gives them the badge and invites them to the Kingdom. Luca joins them and they were given a grand welcome at the rabbit kingdom.There, they meet a rabbit which looked like Nobita and named it Nobit and tease Nobita. Shizuka requests Nobit to give them a good tour of the place. Doraemon reveals that they can see this kingdom because of the badge which they are wearing and warns them not to remove it as it is only due to the badge, they are able to breathe.

Within a few second he says so, a huge rabbit monster (made by Nobita while making Moonbit) comes and wreaks havoc. Nobita chases him and he fells into a deep abyss without the badge. Soon the group arrived, and Nobit who had seen everything tells them that Nobita had fallen down. Doraemon is very worried about Nobita as how he is breathing. Nobita's voice from below rang out, and the group discovered that Nobita was safe and soon learnt that Luca was not an Earthling.

He is the Espal from the planet Kaguya and he has special powers, known as Ether. Luca introduced his friends to his sister Luna, but suddenly they heard a loud noise and they went to the place and discovered that it was AI's song. Luca tells everybody that it is his power is quite different from the other Espal and also that AI can see future. The group decided to do a Space Kart Race on Moon's surface. Gian, Suneo and AI were on the lead. Their cart was about to crash with huge rock, but AI used its power to destroy it. The others arrive there and Luca reveals that they are trying to hide from the people of Kaguya planet and that Diabolo had previously used the Ether power to destroy the Moon of the Kaguya planet to show-off his power but the particles of the Moon covered the whole Kaguya Planet and it had become a dark planet because of which, his parents used a ship to send all the Espal to space to avoid being taken advantage of to do disastrous things again.

Then, suddenly, an unknown raid force came out of nowhere and tried to capture Espal. Then the other Espal also came out from their hiding to the surface to enquire about the explosion. The Kaguya beings used "Ether Distortion" to weaken the Espal. The Kaguya beings now had captured all Espal except Luca while Doraemon tells everyone to run towards the "Anywhere Door" to escape but Luca decided to stay and he was also kidnapped.

The anywhere door exploded due to the attack of the Kaguya beings. Nobita tells Doraemon to use "Bamboo Copter" to fly to Moon, but Doraemon denied. Just after this Mozo, the Kaguya turtle came out of Shizuka's shirt and tells them to use the emergency ship which he and Luca had used to come to Earth. Doraemon told everybody that he can fix it up and to gather here at 7pm. At 7, they flied off and Doraemon told everyone to take rest as it will take them one whole day to reach there.

Upon reaching there, they found Moonbit who was trying to say something, they decide to follow him and found out Luna. Luna revealed that Luca had given his badge to her and that's why she managed to escape. Nobita, Doraemon, Suneo, Mozo and Gian decide to leave for Kaguya and Doraemon gives Shizuka his spare pocket and the "Danger Alarm". Meanwhile, when Commander Godat took Luca to Diabolo, Diabolo reveals that Diabolo now plans to leave Kaguya and attack Earth.

Soon after, Godat freed Luca from the handcuffs. He was filled rage to know that he was just being used. The royal servants reach there and arrested Godat and Luca. Upon arriving there,the friends decided to ask the local residents of the planet about the Espal. The residents reveal that they do not know anything about them but all the important people of the planet lived in the Royal Palace. The gang entered the Palace and started searching for Luca and his friends. In the prison, Godat reveals to Luca that he is the descendant of Dr. Godal (the person who created Espal) and gives him a blue orb which he inherited from his ancestors, which Luca kept in his pocket. The gang arrives there and frees the Espal. Luca tells them that Godat is their ally. Gian and Suneo decide to handle the royal soldiers while Godat, Luca, Nobita and Doraemon advance to fight Diabolo. Diabolo's true form was revealed which was a robot. All were shocked to see it. Diabolo attacked the four and they became unconscious while Gian and Suneo's guns had finished and they were also captured.

Meanwhile, on the Moon, Shizuka sees Nobit working on something and she starts thinking that as soon as she removes the badge, Nobit and all the Rabbit Kingdom vanishes. She removes it and is shocked to still being able to see Nobit. It is because of the Reality Badge made by Nobit. Shizuka quickly puts on the badge. Luna calls her and says that the Danger Alarm is ringing and Shizuka says, "Idea".

Nobita and team wakes up and finds themselves in a cage. Diabolo tell them that he is going to use the Ether to become young again. Soon after, he becomes a bit young. Nobita provokes him to take out a gadget but Doraemon says that his pocket is not there. Diabolo had taken his pocket away when he was unconscious. Then suddenly, Shizuka and Luna along with the Moonbit comes out of Doraemon's pocket and they free the Espal and they tell them that it was due to Nobit's badge.

The whole tables have turned against Diabolo and he is about to be destroyed but he manages to capture Luna and escape. He says that he is going to Earth and will destroy it. Then, Mozo says that his shell is hardest in the universe and they put it in the Air Cannon and Luca gives Nobita, a Power Boost and Mozo goes straight through the ship, destroying it completely. Suneo catches Luna and saves her from falling. Suddenly, the blue orb starts shining and the light of the planet is restored. Doraemon investigates the orb and tells them that it is a kind of Shining Moss which was built to multiply and explode, when in contact with Ether. Nobita says that Luca's ancestors knew that one day, he would come back and restore the light of the planet. Godat requests Luca to stay with him but he refuses saying that for a peaceful life, it would be better that Espal remain a myth.

Back on Moon, it is time to say goodbye, Luca requests Doraemon to create a theory that Espal are just normal beings and the rabbit ears vanish off and they become normal beings. Doraemon and friends come back to Earth after bidding them goodbye. After this, they bury their badges, so as to ensure a peaceful life for the Espal.

Tegridy Farms

Randy and Sharon Marsh are called in to Mr. Mackey's office because their daughter Shelly has been texting inappropriate pictures to the recess monitor so that she can get away with vaping during recess. Frustrated with the recent issues in South Park including events over the previous three episodes, Randy convinces Sharon to sell their home and move out to a cannabis farm Randy names Tegridy Farms, where he harvests the plant and manufactures a variety of products from hemp. Randy meets an agricultural inspector who will authorize him to sell his marijuana, who turns out to be Towelie who personally samples the various strains of marijuana. Randy is later visited by a representative of a vape manufacturer called Big Vape Colorado who wants to add Randy's product to their line, but Randy angrily refuses, not wanting to be associated at all with vaping.

Kyle Broflovski discovers that his brother Ike and his kindergarten classmates are also vaping. Kyle, Stan Marsh, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick discover that Butters Stotch is the person selling vaping pens and accessories to the children, and Cartman punches him for doing so. Later, Butters confronts Cartman for this act in a restroom, where it is revealed that he and Cartman are partners in this venture. Kyle overhears their conversation, and attempts to report Butters and Cartman to the principal, but Cartman begs Kyle to let them continue selling until they get out of debt for the products they already purchased. Kyle agrees on the condition that Cartman promise to stop marketing to kindergartners but Cartman nonetheless has a costumed mascot named Vaping Man crash through the cafeteria wall in the style of the Kool-Aid Man to boost sales among young children, much to Kyle's outrage. Cartman and Butters introduce Kyle to their dealer outside the Big Vape Colorado where he has just purchased his supplies, but then implicate the two of them by beating the dealer and planting a dead prostitute's body near the both of them before stealing the dealer's cash and vape products. Kyle goes to Mr. Mackey's house to ask for help, but Butters and Cartman are already there. Pulling Kyle aside, they tell Kyle that the sixth graders are angry at all of them for attacking their vape supplier, and that the only solution is to rob the vape store to appease the original dealer, who is revealed to be Vaping Man.

Angered that his neighbor Joe has sold his farm to Big Vape, and further outraged that his son Stan was caught with a vaping pen at school, Randy goes to a Big Vape Colorado store and attacks the patrons there. Kyle, Butters and Cartman steal the store's vape juice, only to be confronted by the Big Vape Colorado representative. After Kyle discloses the details of Big Vape Colorado's involvement in the vaping epidemic at the school, the representative attacks Randy, but Towelie assists Randy in dispatching the representative. Randy starts to vaporize all of the large tanks of vape juice before lighting a marijuana cigarette and tossing it inside, causing the building to explode. Back at the farm, he celebrates with Towelie as Stan sadly realizes that this farm lifestyle will continue.

Exit, Stage Left!: The Snagglepuss Chronicles

Snagglepuss is a playwright from Mississippi (loosely based on Tennessee Williams) who has just written ''The Heart is a Kennel of Thieves'', a Broadway play that has been met with critical acclaim. He is involved in a lavender marriage with the leading actress of his play, Lila Lion, though he spends most of his time with his Cuban boyfriend Pablo. Snagglepuss's follow-up to ''The Kennel is a Heart of Thieves'' is the play ''A Dog's Life'', based on the life of his close childhood friend and closeted gay novelist Huckleberry Hound. Huckleberry's marriage ended after he was caught having an affair with a man, and he moved to New York City for a fresh start. Snagglepuss introduces him to the Stonewall bar, where he meets the police officer Quick Draw McGraw. Along with spending time at Stonewall and attending rehearsals of his new play, Snagglepuss also makes regular visits to an old judge at a retirement home who expresses distaste for the theater. The judge laments that his son abandoned him and broke his wife's heart, causing her early death; it is eventually revealed that the judge is Snagglepuss's own estranged father.

Because of the perceived subversive nature of his work, Snagglepuss is targeted by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). During his first hearing, he is accused of being a Communist, but the HUAC is unable to provide sufficient evidence to take concrete action against him. In order to further crack down on subversiveness in the theater, the HUAC brings in a new member, Gigi Allen (loosely based on Roy Cohn). Though Allen secretly lives with her girlfriend, she insists that the HUAC must target Communism by eliminating what she presents as deviant elements in show business, including homosexuality. She suggests that arresting Snagglepuss will act as an effective warning to other so-called "deviants" in the theater industry. To put her plan in action, she confronts the New York City Police Department about the bribes they are taking from Stonewall and threatens to expose their corruption unless they conduct a raid and publicly disgrace Snagglepuss. During the raid, Quick Draw McGraw is confronted by Huckleberry Hound and beats him to avoid being outed. Though Snagglepuss is not at Stonewall that night, Huckleberry is arrested and outed by the press. After he is released from jail, he hangs himself.

Snagglepuss is distraught over Huckleberry Hound's death, as well as Pablo's decision to return to Cuba and fight in the Cuban Revolution. He openly condemns the HUAC at his next hearing and is blacklisted as a result. Five years later, Snagglepuss is unable to find work. He unexpectedly reunites with Quick Draw McGraw, who explains that he was outed and kicked off the police force some time after the raid on Stonewall and is now working in cartoons. He offers a job to Snagglepuss, who accepts.

Kongsi (film)

The Tsuranga Conundrum

While scavenging on an alien junkyard planet, the Thirteenth Doctor, and her companions, Graham, Yasmin, and Ryan are caught in a sonic mine's detonation. They wake aboard the ''Tsuranga'', an automated ship travelling to a medical space-station. Exploring the ship, the Doctor meets some of the patients being transported – Eve Cicero, a renowned general; her brother Durkas; Eve's synth robot partner Ronan; and Yoss, a pregnant man. After gaining access to the ship's systems, the Doctor, alongside head nurse Astos, notice something heading for the ship. They realise it is an alien entity, which gains access to the ship and starts damaging its escape pods. Astos becomes trapped in one that he is inspecting, and dies when the pod is jettisoned into space and explodes.

Helped by Mabli, Astos' colleague, the Doctor learns that the entity is a Pting, a creature that eats non-organic material and is classed as highly dangerous. Learning that the ship will be remotely detonated if the space-station detects the creature aboard, the Doctor works to prevent this happening. While Yasmin and Ronan defend the ship's power source from the Pting, Ryan and Graham offer to help Mabli with Yoss as he enters labour. Meanwhile, the Doctor, Eve, and Durkas focus on gaining manual control of the ship. During this time, the Doctor learns that Eve has a critical heart condition that could kill her if she interfaces with the ship. Despite this, Eve sacrifices herself to protect everyone aboard the ship by navigating it through an asteroid field, before Durkas assumes control in her place.

The Doctor suddenly deduces that the Pting was attracted to the ship looking for energy sources, its true food source. With this knowledge, she returns to the ship's power source, realizing it has a built-in failsafe bomb. Removing it, she primes the device and feeds it to the Pting, giving it ample energy before she jettisons it into space. Durkas safely brings the ''Tsuranga'' to the space-station, while Ryan and Graham help Yoss give birth successfully. Before leaving to recover her TARDIS with the others, the Doctor joins Mabli and the patients in honouring Eve for her courage.

Demons of the Punjab

While celebrating the birthday of her grandmother Umbreen, Yasmin receives a broken watch from her. Curious over its origins, Yasmin convinces a hesitant Thirteenth Doctor to take her, Graham and Ryan to the Punjab in August 1947 where the watch was broken. Upon arriving, Yasmin learns that the watch's previous owner was a Hindu man named Prem, whom a younger Umbreen intends to marry despite Yasmin's family being Muslim, and Prem definitely not being her grandfather. The Doctor notes that the group have arrived on 17 August, the day before the partition of India. She advises her friends to rush to the wedding ceremony to ensure that they and the family are not caught in the partitioning. But matters become complicated when the group see two aliens, that the Doctor had visions of during brief head pains, over the body of the wedding's overseer sadhu Bhakti.

The group are joined by Prem, who saw the aliens around the time of his older brother's death during his military service in World War II, as the Doctor assumed the aliens killed Bhakti and eventually recognises them as members of the Thijarian, a race of assassins, while finding their ship and stealing a capsule from them. But the Doctor learns that the Thijarians are actually the last of their kind, the capsule holding what remained of their destroyed planet, and have dedicated themselves to commemorate those who die alone. After revealing that Prem will become a casualty of the partition they intend to witness, the Thijarians agree to show the Doctor a recording of Bhakti's death. The footage reveals Bhakti was murdered by Prem's younger brother Manish, who opposes the wedding.

Returning to the others and convinced by Yasmin to see the event through, the Doctor oversees the marriage ceremony with the group witnessing the watch being accidentally broken as Umbreen cherishes its significance. When the Doctor later accosts Manish for Bhakti's murder, he reveals to have contacted a small group of armed Hindu nationalists to attack the wedding reception. As Umbreen and her mother escape with the Doctor's group, Prem remains behind to reason with Manish and dies when the nationalists shoot him while the Thijarians observe. Back in the present, Yasmin's grandmother comments on her granddaughter's new henna.

The Hibited Man

Thomas Otterburn, a shy, mild-mannered engineer, lets himself be talked into becoming the first human guinea pig in an experiment using a psychoelectronic device to generate an armor-shield repelling strong forces. The main concern is that the field extends inward as well as outward from the body surface, possibly affecting the brain; animal trials indicate that it may suppress inhibitions in the subject. The test on Otterburn is successful; the expected field is generated, and he claims to feel no mental effect. But he declines to remove the device afterwards, and on his way out of the lab hits on female engineer Lucy Kneipf for a date; he has always been too timid to ask her out before.

The now ultra-extroverted Otterburn takes Lucy to an expensive restaurant, where he becomes rude and offensive over what he sees as tardy service. On receiving the bill he sends Lucy on to the musical they are to attend while he forcefully disputes the liquor charge. He leaves without paying it, his personal force-field allowing him to act in relative impunity. At the theater he finds the frightened Lucy has stood him up, so he invites in a woman off the street. Unimpressed by the show, he throws tomatoes at the performers and then at the ushers when they come to kick him out. Fleeing behind the scenes he swipes a can of green paint from a scenery painter and amuses himself daubing it on half-naked chorus girls; in the ruckus created he escapes the building. Next he steals a policeman's horse for a joy ride. Abandoning it soon after, he ducks pursuit in a barbershop and contemplates more hell-raising.

The next morning Otterburn is arrested in his home; Lucy, having realized what was going on, has reported him. His laboratory bails him out, and the field-generating device is removed, but Otterburn does not revert to his former self; the effect on his mind, it seems, may be permanent. Reasoning that even in the absence of inhibitions a sense of self-interest will lead him to curb his wild behavior, the lab-workers decide it will be safe to let him go free. For his part, Otterburn is unconcerned, supremely confident in his ability to manage his own life. Quitting his position, he leaves, whistling.

Some time later the altered Otterburn checks in at his former job and reveals he talked the restaurant and theater out of pressing charges, successfully convincing them his escapades were good publicity, and talked himself into a being a salesman for the paint brand he had used, at twice his former engineering salary. His boss bewails the loss of one of his best scientists; his low-paid former colleagues, on the other hand, are left chagrined at his new prosperity.

Seven-year-old Chloe Lewis has spent her entire life confined inside an abandoned house with her father Henry, who forbids her from leaving under the threat of being killed by "the bad men". Despite her father's warnings, Chloe longs to experience the world outside her home and desires a maternal figure in her life, due to never meeting her deceased mother Mary. To help Chloe have a normal life, Henry seeks to educate her on general social behavior so she will one day be able to pose as a member of the neighboring Reed family. Chloe observes strange occurrences in the house, such as Henry expelling blood from his eyes and a ghost-like female figure in her closet. Over time, she learns about "abnormals", individuals with superhuman abilities who are hunted by the government's Abnormal Defense Force (ADF) and contained in an underground facility known as Madoc Mountain.

When Chloe eventually manages to leave the house, she discovers her own abnormal power of telepathy at the prodding of an elderly ice cream truck driver. The ice cream truck driver reveals himself as Chloe's maternal grandfather Alan, who believes his daughter is still alive, and Chloe realizes that the "ghost" in her closet is actually Mary being held captive at Madoc Mountain. Henry and Alan are also revealed as abnormals, identified by their bleeding eyes, with Henry using his time-altering powers to cause only a few months to pass outside of the house during his seven years with Chloe. Upon discovering that Chloe left the house and has been in contact with Alan, Henry brings her to the Reeds with a large sum of money, only to be turned away when Chloe uses her abilities on the Reed matriarch Nancy. Nancy subsequently contacts the ADF to deal with Chloe and her family, but Chloe tricks the agents into believing the Reeds are abnormals and they kill Nancy.

Using her telepathic abilities, Chloe begins to help Mary escape from Madoc Mountain, but is hindered by the arrival of ADF Agent Cecilia Ray at the house. When Henry and Alan attempt to deal with Ray, the agent reveals she knows the truth about their family and a drone strike will be ordered on the house if they kill her. Ray offers to place Chloe under governmental care, but upon realizing Henry and Alan are stalling, a scuffle ensues that leads to Ray killing Alan and mortally wounding Henry before she is killed by Chloe. Henry manages to delay the ADF agents long enough for Chloe to ensure Mary's escape, then uses his abilities to manipulate time and carry his daughter out of the house as it is destroyed by the missile.

Mary promises to keep Chloe hidden at a new location, but Chloe refuses to continue hiding, believing that no one can stop them from living wherever they want.

In the morning, Madea gets A.J. to apologize and try reconciling with Carol. Despite forgiving A.J., Carol refuses to stay with him claiming she wants to live freely. Vianne happily wishes the family luck as she leaves for Las Vegas with Roy (Mike Tyson), revealing that she was also having an affair while noting that Roy should've been their father.

When Maira disappeared, her father, an old voodoo magician, left his house to stay at Boca de Yuma, a wild place at the other side of the island, together with his little daughter.

While Mark is dreaming of his upcoming surgery in his room, a hotel maid masturbates, looking at his exposed penis. When he wakes up, he has sex with her. In a call home, he learns his wife is drunk. Later, walking the streets, he sees Maira's reflection in a shopping window, looking at him. She appears unchanged by time.

Jacques tells him to stay away from himself and Lucia.

The next day, he goes to Boca di Yuma and meets Maira's father at the beach. He tells him that he collected her last breath in the bottle. She carried his name on her lips, cursing him.

When she mentions that she bought him with her money, Mark slaps her so she is flung onto the bed, which causes his erection and he penetrates her from behind.

Later, Mark receives a message from Maira and goes off to meet her on the beach where he remembers having sex with her back then. He meets her there and can feel the warmth of her skin, proving to himself it is not just a mad dream. He still desires her more than anything. She, however, is reproachful of his arrogant and destructive possessiveness and accuses him of having broken his promises and leaving her. She drugs him with a rare herb called "Mexican mushroom", then performs oral sex on an approaching black local while he is watching, immobilized by the drug.

In return, he wants to get back what was taken from him, having sex with Liza while Lucia is watching, pleasuring herself. Mark, after injecting a high dose of painkiller, hallucinates about his surgery and about having sex with Lucia on the beach. He runs a temperature, and Maira comes to visit him in his room, wanting to take care of him, but leaving him again. In a fit of madness, Mark stabs the owner, accusing her of having defiled Maira. Jacques and Liza see Maira leaving the brothel and enter to find the body, and a man tells them that "Maira" is not the Maira of old, but her 10-year younger sister who the father has brought up magically in Maira's memory and physical likeness, to avenge her death, knowing that Mark would eventually come back.

Mark meets "Maira" on the beach. While they are having sex, she reveals that she is not who he thinks she is, and that he needs to die to avenge Maira's death. Mark walks away towards the sea, kneels down, and cuts off his own penis with a knife, his blood spurting and mixing with the foam. He dies. "Maira" sits down next to him and caresses him.

Will manages to obtain several promising positions at school, eventually getting an internship at an investment fund in Beijing. Phoebe, who by this time is his girlfriend, plans to spend the summer with Will, but because of her slipping grades she is forced to spend the summer at school taking remedial courses. During their time apart Will is upset to find she is spending more time with John Leal, who has recruited her into his mysterious group he calls Jejah. When Will returns for the next semester he and Phoebe move in together, but he is surprised to find that she continues to attend Jejah sessions.

To keep an eye on Phoebe, Will also asks to attend Jejah. He is reluctantly allowed in and for a time he, like Phoebe, enjoys the strict regimen that John Leal imposes on his followers. At an anti-abortion rally however he experiences a revelation that Jejah is a cult and taking some sleeping pills to relax himself experiences vivid hallucinations. Rather than take care of him Phoebe sends him back home and spends the weekend with John Leal, causing Will to grow increasingly angry and jealous. As their relationship fractures Will notices that Phoebe has scars and bruises on her back thanks to penance inflected by John Leal. Wanting Phoebe to leave Jejah for good Will proposes to her and then rapes her, finally causing her to leave him and move out of their shared apartment.

A few months later Will learns that several health clinics that provide abortions in and around Noxhurst have been bombed resulting in the deaths of five teenaged girls who were practicing cheer routines in the abandoned parking lot of one of the clinics. Will is convinced John Leal is responsible and tells the dean who notifies the F.B.I. Convinced that Phoebe is innocent Will agrees to help the F.B.I. with their investigation and is surprised to later learn from other Jejah recruits that the bombings were Phoebe's idea. Later still he learns from the F.B.I. that a man saw Phoebe jump off a bridge, ostensibly committing suicide, but Will believes she might have been faking her death as she was a strong swimmer.

After graduation Will moves to Manhattan where he sees Julian, a friend of Phoebe's. When he tries to greet Julian, Julian tells him that Phoebe shared the fact that Will raped her and that he believed Will caused the final mental break that caused her to fully commit to Jejah.

The Bear and the Nightingale

The novel begins with an introduction of Pyotr Vladimirovich's household. Pyotr is a Russian boyar, the lord of a remote village, Lesnaya Zemlya, on the outskirts of the forests. His wife, Marina Ivanovna, the daughter of the Grand Prince of Moscow, Ivan I, and their four children, Kolya, Sasha, Olga and Alyosha are huddled around the kitchen oven being told the story of the frost-demon by their housekeeper and nanny, Dunya. This story tells the tale of Morozko, the frost king. Once the children have fallen asleep, Marina makes her way to her bedroom where she informs her husband, Pyotr, that she is once again pregnant. This poses an issue to the family because Marina is not expected to live through another pregnancy. However, she is determined to see through the birth of her fifth child because she can sense that this daughter will have powers that Marina's mother is believed to have had. To her family's grief, she indeed dies in childbirth, and her daughter is named Vasilisa, nicknamed Vasya.

As Vasya grows older, she begins to spend more time in the forest. However, while she is exploring one day, she comes across an unusual tree that she does not recognise. At the foot of this tree lies a man with a missing eye. Before he can take an interest in her, another strange man on a horse arrives warning Vasya to leave and instructing the one-eyed man to go back to sleep because it is still winter. Vasya gets lost in the woods and is found by her older brother Sasha who is out with the search party looking for her. Once Sasha and Vasya return home, Sasha warns his father that Vasya needs a mother to look after and raise her. Pytor takes on this advice and travels to Moscow, taking Kolya and Sasha with him.

While in Moscow, Sasha meets a local monk who makes a good impression and returns to ask his father if he can leave and spend his time at the Christian monastery. Pyotr makes a deal with his son that he can only go if he agrees to stay at home for one more year so that he is sure of his decision and not swayed by the monk. Pyotr is also successful in finding a wife for himself. The Grand Prince of Moscow, Ivan II, presents his young daughter, Anna Ivanovna, to Pyotr. Anna also has the ability to see mythological creatures, however is convinced that they are devils and that she is being punished by God. As a result, there are whispers from others living in the castle that she is either a witch or crazy, so the Grand Prince sees this as a way to get her out of the public eye.

After making their way back to Lesnaya Zemlya, Pyotr also informs his daughter Olga of his success in finding her a husband in Moscow and that Anna is now their step mother. Once Anna realises that Vasya can also see the creatures, but is not afraid of them, she becomes convinced that Vasya is a witch on the side of evil and when the new, young and handsome priest, Konstantin Nikonovich, arrives they plan to ensure that every individual in Lesnaya Zemlya is convinced of Christianity and turns their backs on folklore and traditions of leaving offerings for little creatures believed to be safe guarding their village from the evil bear, Medved. However, in doing this, the creatures soon disappear as their offerings deplete and Lesnaya Zemlya is left defenseless. Meanwhile, Medved has been released and has convinced Konstantin that he is the voice of God. Konstantin, convinced that God is giving him his orders directly, agrees to Medved's demands to sacrifice a witch. While Pyotr is away, Konstantin and Anna hatch a plan to send Vasya to a convent by convincing the village people that she is a witch. However, in the midst of all the madness that arises, Vasya escapes into the forest, where she is taken under the wing of Morozko, the frost demon, who then reveals that he is the brother of Medved and is tasked with keeping him locked up for as long as he can. While in the care of Morozko, Vasya meets Solovey, an intelligent horse, with whom she bonds.

Meanwhile, Medved has realised that Vasya has been taken in by Morozko and convinces Konstantin to persuade Anna to follow him into the forest. Once he does this, Medved reveals himself to Konstantin as the evil bear and kills Anna, wholly resolving him of his shackles. Despite this, Pyotr appears in the forest and offers himself to Medved in place of Vasya. This sacrifice once again bounds Medved, returning him to endless slumber beneath the unusual tree. As the novel concludes, Vasya convinces her brother, Alyosha, that she must leave and allow him to establish himself as a man among men and that her presence will only affect him negatively, being a witch-woman. She and Solovey ride into the forest and she finds Morozko in his home.

The Consuming Fire

Following the events of The Collapsing Empire, End is now isolated from Hub as the result of a Flow shoal breakdown. Seeking to unite the population of the Interdependency behind an agenda to get ahead of the coming collapse of Flow-supported space travel, Grayland II (Cardenia Wu-Patrick) claims, in her capacity as head of the Church of the Interdependency, to have had visions affirming the need to plan for the collapse. This causes religious disquiet in the church, and political intrigue from the House of Nohamapetan and the House of Wu with the aim of claiming the throne from Grayland II through a coup d'etat. Meanwhile, Marce Claremont follows a lead provided by his erstwhile rival, the researcher Hatide Roynold, and together they learn that the Interdependency will once again be connected by Flow shoals in a different configuration on a timescale of hundreds of years, and that in the meantime evanescent shoals will appear and disappear. Seeking to learn more about the possibility of survival while cut off from other parts of the Interdependency, Marce and Hatide, accompanied by Marines, depart to study the survival of life on Dalasýsla, a system which was cut off for eight hundred years until the emergence of an evanescent Flow shoal.

Kiva Lagos, meanwhile, deals with the aftermath of Nadashe Nohamapetan's actions. Tasked by Grayland II with the upkeep of the House of Nohamapetan's business affairs on Hub, Kiva becomes a hindrance to the Countess' plans for regaining wealth and political favour. When Grayland II shoots down the Countess' plans to regain control of her House, the Countess retaliates at Kiva with an attempt on her life. Kiva survives but her lover Senia, lawyer for the Nohamapetan house, is seriously injured. In response, Kiva assaults the Countess' chief of staff. Nadashe is covertly sprung from imprisonment through the efforts of the Nohamapetan and Wu conspirators, who stage the incident as a failed escape attempt with no survivors. Kiva, investigating the House of Nohamapetan's affairs, discovers clues pointing to Nadashe being alive.

Marce and Hatide, while visiting Dalasýsla, meet survivors who have adapted to the changed conditions over hundreds of years. Coming under attack from Nohamapetan-hired mercenaries, Marce and a few members of his expedition manage to survive while the ship carrying Hatide and the rest of the expedition is destroyed. Marce returns to Hub with the help of Tomas Chenevert, a deposed king from outside the Interdependency who has had his consciousness transferred to a ship after his death. They return in time to witness Grayland II decide on a course of action in response to the anticipated coup d'etat attempt. Learning the identities of the traitors, she invites them to a party and proceeds to honour and promote her allies, Kiva and the Archbishop of the Church, and denounce and arrest the rest. The book ends with Marce offering a solution to the problem of getting the Hub population to End without coming under attack from Ghreni Nohamapetan and his allies, who strategically positioned themselves to control the passage to End in earlier events.

Mad About the Toy

Homer and Marge celebrate their anniversary, leaving the kids at home with Grampa. Marge points out that Grampa needs to be home in an hour, so she and Homer do all their activities as fast as possible. At home, Bart and Lisa are bored and ask Grampa if they can play a game. Bart finds some plastic army men toys in the basement, which causes Grampa to panic.

The family takes him to the VA, but the doctor is unable to find out what is wrong. Lisa notices that the molding of the soldier toys resembles Grampa, then asks if the company that used him for the photos of the plastic army men paid him. Grampa recalls that in 1947 he was paid to model for the original army men, including a promise of a royalty for each toy.

Grampa ends up on Channel 6 news and shortly after reaches national headlines on NBC. After the headlines, the toy company that used Grampa for their toys invites him to visit their headquarters in New York City. The chairman tells Grampa that he missed out on millions of dollars because he never signed his contract. Grampa remembers that he ran out of the shoot because the male photographer kissed him. The company then fired the photographer for being gay. Realizing that he may have ruined the photographer's life, Grampa vows to visit him to apologize.

Lisa discovers that the photographer, Philip Hefflin, now lives in Marfa, Texas. The drive is long and the family encounters the Marfa lights and Prada Marfa. When they get to Philip's hometown, Grampa stumbles into a gallery filled with paintings of him in his army uniform. Philip greets Grampa and thanks him for making him realize he was better off being true to himself. They enjoy time together before Grampa has to head back to Springfield.

The Girl on the Bus

Channel 6 news opens up with the city's history of the founding and development of Springfield, which leads to the run down school bus Lisa and Bart ride to school every day. On the bus, Lisa wishes she had a close friend, then notices a girl sitting on her front porch playing a clarinet. The next day, Lisa asks Otto Mann to stop the bus and he drops her off. Exploring the Springfield Heights neighborhood, she finds the girl's house and notices her crying through a window. Lisa introduces herself to the girl, whose name is Sam, and finds that they have much in common.

Sam's parents invite Lisa over to dinner then ask her about her family. Wanting to not reveal her embarrassing family, Lisa lies about her them, saying that Homer is a sculptor, Marge is a chemist, Maggie is a precocious professor, and Bart does not exist. Sam's parents want to meet Lisa's parents, but then reveal that they are moving. When Sam's father drops Lisa off, she tells Ned Flanders to pretend that he is her dad. Eventually, Sam's family announces they are not moving, so Lisa then lies that her parents are going to Lithuania, not wanting her lies to be exposed. She then begins a short double life with Sam's family and her own. After a while, Marge catches her. Marge forces Lisa to invite Sam's family over to dinner and tells Homer to be on his best behavior.

At the dinner table, Homer uses the lines Marge gave him to talk, but then when Sam's father asks Homer about his life, Lisa finally admits she lied about her family. Sam's father admits to lying as well; he previously stated that he was from Nigeria, but he is actually from Cameroon. Noticing the sudden awkwardness, Bart invites everyone to hang out in his redecorated room, which he worked on secretly while everyone was focused on Lisa, who is ecstatic to have her story have a happy ending.

Over time, Bart's room becomes a hit and he invites everyone to his room to use as a hang out except his own parents, who are worried the situation is getting out of hand. Bart's appointed bouncer Nelson Muntz does let in Marge, who promises Homer she will talk to Bart.

The Clown Stays in the Picture

Bart and Lisa listen to a podcast hosted by Marc Maron with Krusty the Clown as a guest. Krusty tells the story of the troubled production of his directorial debut ''The Sands of Space''.

In the mid ‘80’s, Krusty's career is taking off following his role as the dog cop in ''Good Cop Dog Cop''. Before he will sign on to film the sequel, Krusty wants to star in an adaptation of his favorite book, ''The Sands of Space''. The film studio's executives agree to produce the film, but plan on cutting costs by shooting in Mexico and hiring amateurs for the crew. Most of the town of Springfield sign up for the film crew, including a young Homer Simpson and his girlfriend Marge Bouvier.

Krusty fires the director and takes over the role himself, but finds himself unable to make any decisions until he takes on Marge as his assistant director. With Marge's help, the production gets underway, but she finds it difficult to balance her job and her relationship with Homer. Krusty becomes jealous and plots to kill Homer by putting him on more and more dangerous jobs on the crew.

Homer is sent to retrieve a lizard in a sandstorm and subsequently falls unconscious in a ravine. A vision of Bart, Lisa, and Maggie as cacti appears and gives him the will to get up. However, he is captured by Mexican gangsters, and Krusty refuses to pay the ransom. Marge and the crew go to save him, pretending the film weapons are real, but the ruse is quickly seen through. Marge convinces Krusty to hand over the film to the captors, ensuring it would never be released, and dooming Krusty to a life of children's television.

In the present, Krusty and Maron travel to Mexico and learn that the movie was released as a comedy there entitled ''El Bozo Loco''.

101 Mitigations

Homer, Bart, Lisa and Maggie are eating at The Gilded Truffle, where they used a misprinted coupon good for 100% off. Meanwhile, with the saved money, Marge gets a Swedish massage. Outside the restaurant, Homer warns the kids to not hustle to get ahead in life. The valet parking attendant Raphael hands Homer the keys to the wrong car, a fancy 1957 seafoam Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible. They drive away with it, having fun on the road. When they go back to the restaurant, Comic Book Guy accuses them of stealing his father's car, and when he notices his mint condition copy of ''Radioactive Man'' #1 was damaged, he presses charges and Homer is arrested. In court, Judge Snyder finds Homer guilty, even after a touching apology letter written by Lisa.

With two weeks before Homer's sentencing hearing, Marge goes to The Android's Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop to negotiate with Comic Book Guy, who says the issue is about getting respect. At home, Lisa discovers sentencing mitigation videos, including one employed by Mr. Burns for one of his crimes against Springfield, portraying him in a more sympathetic light as a product of a neglected and bullied childhood. The family's efforts to produce a mitigation video for Homer fall short but Lisa is able to splice together the work using her Final Cut Pro skills. In court, Snyder is initially open to setting Homer free but Comic Book Guy delivers an impassioned courtroom speech, the best Snyder has ever heard. He will deliver his verdict the next day.

Lisa finds a replacement ''Radioactive Man'' #1 online in a nearby Ogdenville comic book shop, though it fails to quell Comic Book Guy's grudge against Homer. However, he notices Homer's 1975 season one ''Welcome Back, Kotter'' keychain, a "precious totem" to Homer, the only gift his father ever gave him. To make Homer feel how he felt with his beloved car and comic, Comic Book Guy smashes the keychain with Thor's hammer Mjölnir, then agrees to drop the charges. He also befriends Homer and invites him to come to Comic-Con with him.

In the epilogue, Bart is shown in detention at school being supervised by Principal Skinner. Bart shows Skinner a prank sentencing mitigation video with Milhouse extolling Bart's transformation, while the video plays Bart escapes from the room.

Bart is playing a game called "Conflict of Enemies" with Milhouse, Sophie, Nelson and Martin. At Marge's insistence, Homer attempts to get Bart to play less, but when he realizes they're playing for a $1,000 prize, he relents. The team wins and qualifies for a $500,000 tournament. Homer begins coaching the team. While sleeping, he visits the club of dads that lived vicariously through their glorious athletic children, including Earl Woods, father of Tiger Woods. The team qualifies for the World Championship in Seoul, South Korea. Back at home, Lisa wants to go to the Jogyesa Temple in South Korea, and sees the world championship as an opportunity to fulfill her desire, so Marge agrees to take her too. In Seoul, Homer swaps Milhouse for another player. Lisa then takes the family to the monastery, achieving Zen. Homer realizes the futility of material gain and sabotages the gaming contest by cutting off all power to the stadium, causing the tournament to be abandoned and the audience to start rioting. Bart gets blamed for costing Springfield their shot at victory and is beaten up by his angry teammates on the flight home.

Bart vs. Itchy & Scratchy

The Simpsons attend a convention where Krusty the Clown hosts a panel discussion about his show. After expressing frustration at fans who ask repetitive questions, he announces that "Itchy & Scratchy" will be rebooted with the characters re-cast as females. While Lisa is excited by the changes, Bart, Milhouse, Nelson, and Martin all express outrage and swear that they will never watch the show again in protest. Bart hosts a party where the boys make a point of not watching the show. However, he overhears Lisa recording a reaction video onto her phone as she watches the episode and decides to investigate. He laughs despite himself and is confronted by Lisa. When he lies to his friends about watching the episode, Lisa, having recorded his laugh, uploads the video online from her phone in revenge.

Lisa's video goes viral and Bart is confronted by his friends at school, who rebuke him for betraying his gender. They try to beat him up, but he takes shelter in the girls' bathroom where he meets Carmen, Erica and Piper; three sixth-grade girls. The girls call themselves "Bossy Riot" (a play on Pussy Riot) and carry out pranks in the name of feminism. Bart reveals himself to be El Barto and persuades them to let him join Bossy Riot by improving one of their pranks. In Bart's absence, the boys turn to Milhouse as their new leader. He forms the "Boys' Rights Association", or BRA, and they begin pressuring Krusty into reverting the changes to Itchy & Scratchy.

Bart and Bossy Riot carry out a series of pranks aimed at male authority figures around Springfield, with the girls giving him a purple mask allowing him to partake in the pranks with them undetected. The townspeople are afraid and their antics make the evening news. Lisa realizes that Bart is part of Bossy Riot when she sees a loose purple yarn string from his shorts and confronts him in his room. He initially denies it but immediately admits it when she says it destroys her vision of the entire universe. She accuses him of hiding behind causes he does not believe in to carry out pranks; Bart counters that while Lisa advocates causes, she has never had the courage to take action.

At Bossy Riot's meeting, they learn that Krusty has relented to BRA and will restore the male version of Itchy & Scratchy. In retaliation, Carmen, Erica and Piper plan to destroy the "Itchy & Scratchy" master tapes on live television, destroying "Itchy & Scratchy" forever. Bart protests their actions; causing the three girls to retaliate by tying him up and escaping before Lisa finds him.

Bart and Lisa make their way to Krusty's studios where the girls are about to drop the tapes into a vat of nail polish remover. As Bart unsuccessfully tries to reason with them through mansplaining, Lisa decides to take action, knocking the vat away at the last moment. The nail polish remover floods the studio floor and the fumes overwhelm the assembled members of BRA, causing them to break into tears. Lisa's actions are caught on camera, impressing Bossy Riot while BRA blame Milhouse for their humiliation after having their tears glycerized by the girls. As Bart says farewell to the girls, Lisa is inspired to take further action and joins Bossy Riot, while Bart agrees not to fight for causes he does not believe in. He gives Lisa his purple mask and as he watches Lisa and the girls ride away, he spray-paints a message on a wall that reads "The patriarchy is a weiner", implying that his time with Bossy Riot offered him more than a chance to cause mischief.

During the credits, Bart makes peace with his friends. They ask him about his time with the girls and much to their distress, he reveals that "they do not envy us".

Girl's in the Band

Springfield Elementary School's music teacher and band director Dewey Largo wakes up from a nightmare next to his partner Geoffrey and recalls how even though he graduated top of his class, his once-promising musical conductor career failed and led him to teach elementary music where he is now unhappy.

At school, Largo is conducting the school orchestra when he receives an email from Victor Kleskow, the musical director of the Capital City Philharmonic, saying he will be attending the concert the next night. Largo, newly inspired to impress Kleskow, starts training the students with "The Stars and Stripes Forever". The next night the concert is a success with the children playing "Troika" from Lieutenant Kije, but Largo is sad when instead of poaching him, Kleskow chooses to take Lisa Simpson for his youth orchestra.

Homer and Marge struggle to schedule and pay for Lisa's new extracurricular school work. Once they arrive at Capital City, Lisa finds it difficult to work with Kleskow, as he reveals his menacing personality and how just small mistakes make him angry.

Meanwhile, at the new orchestra's campus, Bart is confined to a closet with the siblings of the other student musicians. Lisa wins the first chair for saxophone in a competition by out-performing another student, but realizes how selfish she has become, and how she has failed to realize the toll her new music lessons and associated travel times are taking on her family.

Kleskow offers to advance Lisa to the next class, which costs more and is farther away. Meanwhile, Homer is seemingly sleep-deprived and starts hallucinating during his shift at the nuclear power plant - dancing and drinking with the bartender Lloyd from ''The Shining''. To avoid more problems for her and her family, Lisa intentionally fails her audition for the upper-level orchestra, ending her saxophone career.

Marge however plans to cross the border line but Lisa is still unsure if she wants to leave the wonderful country. She then has a vision of several of her favorite American figures including Abraham Lincoln, Dumbo, Aretha Franklin, Eleanor Roosevelt, Seabiscuit the horse, Watson the computer who won ''Jeopardy!'', Judy Blume, and Louis Armstrong, who convince her to go home.

With the help of Bart and Homer, Lisa and Marge sneak across a frozen river back to the United States.

Crystal Blue-Haired Persuasion

Due to a slight fall in profits at the nuclear plant, Mr. Burns cancels the employee's children's health care. Because the town's approval of corporate tax cuts prevents anyone from getting government health care, Bart is forced to switch to a generic medicine for his attention deficit disorder, which results in odd side effects. Dr. Nick is no help with the situation, but at a crystal shop, FAO Quartz, Marge and Bart discover blue healing crystals, and she decides to use these to supplement his treatment. Three weeks later Bart takes home an "A" on a paper, demonstrating the powers of the crystals.

When word of Bart's academic success spreads throughout the town's parents, who want to use the crystals for personal means, Marge goes to buy more crystals, but the shop is closing, and the owner gives Marge the entire inventory, while she joins a new cult. Marge opens her own crystal shop, Ye Olde New Age Store, out of the garage, and begins a thriving business. When materials start to run out, Lindsey Naegle appears and offers to expand her business, renaming it to Murmur. Lisa is skeptical about the powers, while Piper Paisley, the owner of a healing beauty relaxorium in Shelbyville, Plop, menaces Marge to get out of the business. Marge, ignoring Homer's concerns, decides to open up a Murmur kiosk at the Shelbyville Mall next to Plop.

At the school, Lisa investigates Bart's recent papers and discovers that Bart has hidden crib notes in the drawings around the classroom, which only the crystals reveal. She convinces Bart to confess to Marge, as he is betraying the one person who has treated him with love and affection. When Bart confesses to Marge that he cheated and Marge's customers angrily tell her the crystals did not work, Marge realizes that the crystals only made people's lives worse, so closes down Murmur and concedes to Piper, much to Piper's relief. She also tells Homer, who has quit his job due to Marge's success and taken on the role of a stereotypical stay-at-home spouse, to get back to work at the power plant.

In the tag scene, Marge visits the former owner of FAO Quartz at the cult to check up on her. The woman takes the opportunity to escape the cult with Marge. As they drive off in Marge's car, the cult owner blows up the bridge in an attempt to stop them from escaping.

At Honno-ji temple, Nobunaga and his vassal, Mori Ranmaru, attempt to hold down the fort while the traitorous Akechi Mitsuhide and his men attack. Seeing no way out, Nobunaga retreats to his room and commands Mori to hold down the fort. The TRA show up at the scene and attack Akechi’s soldiers, but Hasebe, Fudou, and Nihongou arrive to assist while Yagen and Yamanbagiri tackle a strange individual TRA member. Mikazuki reaches Nobunaga's quarter's in time to stave off the TRA and gives Nobunaga his space to commit seppuku.

Uguisumaru welcomes them back to the citadel and introduces a newly arrived Touken Danshi: Honebami Toushirou, older brother to Yagen and former companion of Mikazuki. It is revealed that Honebami cannot recall his past due to amnesia. Mikazuki dissuades the others from visiting the Saniwa, raising suspicions. Meanwhile, news of Nobunaga’s death travels to his general Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who grieves in a mad rage.

While Mikazuki reports the success to the Saniwa and discusses recent events, the Touken Danshi become suspicious as to why they have rarely seen their master besides Mikazuki.

Back in 1582, Nobunaga Oda awakes in a cavern and is faced with the strange TRA member who Yagen had previously battled. The stranger introduces himself as Mumei (No Name) and pledges the loyalty of the TRA to Oda Nobunaga, who is more than pleased to have cheated death. Mikazuki is urgently summoned to the Saniwa's room with the same news. Upon hearing the Saniwa’s self-reproach, Mikazuki insists he will set things right. The team is reassembled, with Fudou being replaced by Honebami.

Mikazuki is confronted by a suspicious Uguisumaru, who asks about the Saniwa and is told he would be needed soon. Nihongou eavesdrops on them. At the portal, Honebami expresses his conflict over what it means to protect history. Mikazuki announces the team's new mission: to assassinate the still-alive Oda Nobunaga.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi returns to avenge his lord by chasing Mitsuhide to Shōryūji Castle. Nobunaga, his new TRA army, and Mumei send a messenger to Hideyoshi of his survival and plans. The Touken Danshi split up to trail Nobunaga, Akechi and to stop Nobunaga's message from reaching Hideyoshi. Yamanbagiri, Hasebe, and Nihongou voiced their concerns about Mikazuki's secrecy before departing. Mikazuki addresses Honebami’s concerns and asks him for a favor.

Yagen and Yamanbagiri trail Mitsuhide and bump into Mikazuki and Honebami who were trailing Nobunaga. Nobunaga attacks Akechi directly, but in a sudden change of heart, Mumei jumps between the two men in defense of Mitsuhide. Mikazuki intervened in the battle using the moment of shock and directed Nobunaga away, fleeing into the night. The other Touken Danshi attempt to follow, but a TRA ootachi brute forces them to retreat before re-assuming control over Mumei. Akechi Mitsuhide vanishes from history.

Hasebe and Nihongou trail the messenger to Hideyoshi and cut him down, but Hideyoshi had received Nobunaga's letter. Despite being persuaded that the letter was fake, Hideyoshi reveals to the two that he is going to occupy Nobunaga’s castle, Azuchi Castle, and insists the Touken Danshi follow him. Yamanbagiri and Nihongou trade messages via carrier pigeon, stating Mikazuki’s apparent betrayal, and the rest agree to meet up at Azuchi Castle.

Mikazuki tells Nobunaga that he only wishes to escort him to Azuchi Castle safely. Nobunaga does not trust Mikazuki but he accepts Mikazuki’s aid.

While Yamanbagiri, Yagen, and Honebami rest and recuperate, Yamanbagiri and Yagen are confused at Mikazuki’s betrayal to run off with Nobunaga. As Honebami assists them, they decide that they would stop Mikazuki if he turns traitor.

On route to Azuchi, Hideyoshi reveals to Hasebe and Nihongou that he knew all along that the two were lying: Nobunaga was indeed alive and Hideyoshi intends to kill Nobunaga himself. Hideyoshi attempts to assassinate the two, but both escape.

Mikazuki and Nobunaga arrive at Azuchi Castle with Nobunaga waiting expectantly for Hideyoshi to arrive with support. Nobunaga goads Mikazuki, insisting that his history now is the correct history. The TRA split up their forces, with Mumei protecting Nobunaga while the ootachi leaves to complete their own mission: an attack on the Saniwa’s citadel. Fudou notices the attack on the citadel's shields. He rushes to find the Saniwa but finds his master shrouded in a bright glow. Uguisumaru quietly steers Fudou away.

Hideyoshi arrives at Azuchi Castle. However, Hideyoshi starts attacking its walls while ordering his men to ‘flush Mitsuhide’s men out’. Angered at Hideyoshi's betrayal, Nobunaga draws his sword on Mikazuki, who only calmly replies that history can be rewritten but Nobunaga is still doomed. The rest of the Touken Danshi arrive to find Azuchi Castle under attack. Yagen, Nobunaga’s dagger, finally recalls the newly-corrected history: Nobunaga escaped Honnoji with Mori’s help but dies at Azuchi Castle after being betrayed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Mikazuki’s buried historical secret is revealed as Hideyoshi brandishes the sword of Mikazuki Munechika, a war spoil that Nobunaga gifted to Hideyoshi.

Mumei and the TRA move in to attack Hideyoshi’s men. Honebami speeds off, leaving the others behind to face the rest of the enemies. Mikazuki leaves Nobunaga and reunites with Honebami, who passes him a bag of items. Nobunaga ambushes them and holds Honebami hostage, demanding Mikazuki to escort him to safety. Mikazuki refuses and answers both Nobunaga's and Honebami's concerns: Mikazuki believes that protecting history as he knows it will protect the many things he cherishes. He will protect Nobunaga as the legendary fearsome general he knows, but not the man that was now begging before him. Ultimately bested, Nobunaga releases Honebami and accepts his fate.

Back in the citadel, the shields break from the continuous assault. The ootachi brute materializes with his army on the citadel grounds, with only Uguisumaru and Fudou standing in their way.

When Mikazuki rejoins his companions, he reveals that Honebami had taken their teleportation spheres and passed them to him and sends them all back to the citadel against their wishes, stating that the Saniwa was in urgent need of their help. He confronts the enemy alone.

Upon their return, Uguisumaru is shocked that Mikazuki was not with them. The truth is revealed: The Saniwa was transferring out due to advanced age and loss of power. This put their citadel at its weakest state and the TRA chose to attack their home at this critical moment.

At Azuchi Castle, Mikazuki fights a losing battle. He gives out and falls - only to be caught by Hasebe and the returning Touken Danshi. They received new orders from their master: to retrieve Mikazuki. Rejuvenated and reunited, they take on Mumei and the TRA and successfully eradicate them. Nobunaga uses his blade, Yagen Toushirou, and commits seppuku successfully. As the Touken Danshi return to the citadel, a swirl of sakura petals surround Mumei and he vanishes as well.

The team returns to assist Uguisumaru and Fudou while Mikazuki stops the ootachi brute from directly attacking the Saniwa. Mikazuki bids farewell to the Saniwa who vanishes in the light. Mikazuki throws the ootachi out for the final confrontation, only for Mumei to sink his blade into his former comrade. Mumei finally overcomes his possession and reveals himself to be a Touken Danshi: Kurikara Gou, Akechi Mitsuhide’s short blade that was used against Nobunaga. Altogether, the Touken Danshi finish off the ootachi brute and end the TRA’s invasion.

After some time, the entire retinue of Touken Danshi awaits Mikazuki in the Saniwa’s hall. He reveals to them their new Saniwa, a little girl. Mikazuki mused to his old master that he now had more to cherish and protect, while the other Touken Danshi entertain their new master in peaceful times.

Arthur Takes a Stand

At Lakewood Elementary, principal Ms. Tingley announces that breakfast will be served in the school cafeteria, and that civil rights leader John Lewis will be visiting the school. The next morning, the students enjoy the breakfast, and Arthur talks to Mrs. MacGrady as she is clearing the tables. He is surprised to learn that she does all the cafeteria work by herself, without any assistance. Arthur goes to the principal's office, where he asks Ms. Tingley to hire more cafeteria staff, and she answers that the school does not have the budget for it.

Arthur's friend Sue Ellen suggests that he start a boycott. Arthur goes to Mrs. MacGrady with a "Boycott Breakfast" poster, although she states that serving breakfast was her own decision. In the library, Arthur has a nightmare where Mrs. MacGrady is overworked from breakfast being served 24 hours a day; he awakes to find John Lewis sitting at the table with him. Lewis advises Arthur to be persistent in his protesting.

After breakfast the next day, Arthur continues to sit at his table, starting a sit-in protest. Mrs. MacGrady joins him, agreeing that not getting any help is unfair. The entire class slowly joins Arthur's protest. Ms. Tingley enters and demands them to stop; however, Mrs. MacGrady refuses to leave until she is guaranteed to get an assistant. Lewis enters and recognizes Mrs. MacGrady as an old friend from the March on Washington, also joining the sit-in. Finally, Ms. Tingley decides to write to the school board and request more money. Lewis tells Arthur, "There's nothing more important than following your conscience. If you can do that, you're always going to sleep well" as the episode ends.

Uncompromising Honor

The story occurs in 1922 and 1923 "Post Diaspora," or 4025/4026 CE. The Grand Alliance of the Star Empire of Manticore, the Republic of Haven, the Protectorate of Grayson, and the newly independent Republic of Beowulf, among others, are at war with the Solarian League.

The Mesan Alignment, having worked for centuries in the background to establish a new galactic order under which it can impose genetic modification of the human race, has suffered several setbacks in recent years at the hands of the Alliance, especially the Manticore of Admiral Honor Harrington. In response, the Alignment's leaders arrange an escalating series of atrocities.

While the League has an elected government, executive power is dominated by the Quintet, senior bureaucrats who hold permanent tenure in "Old Chicago," Planet Earth. The Alignment has extensively infiltrated the League's political and military institutions, but the "Mandarins," as they are commonly known, refuse to believe they are being played as they wage war on the Alliance.

The Mandarins are forced to grapple with the Alliance's massive technological and tactical advantages; the Solarian League Navy cannot hope to fight a pitched battle and survive, even with vastly superior numbers. Alignment agents convince them to authorize "Operation Buccaneer," the complete destruction of all space-borne infrastructure in every star system that continues to trade with their enemies. League commanders are given discretion to arrange for the evacuation of civilians first, but the "Parthian Shot" contingency authorizes mass-casualty hit-and-run raids as needed.

The Royal Manticoran Navy annihilates one League raiding force in the Prime and Ajay systems; a Manticoran detachment later beats back a raid on the Hypatia System, at the cost of 90 percent casualties. Later on, the Alignment accelerates "Operation Houdini" on the planet Mesa itself, which has been occupied by the Alliance; dozens of nuclear charges are detonated across the planet to erase evidence of the Alignment's existence and frame the Alliance for the deaths of millions of civilians.

Events come to a head when the League invades Beowulf. Though Alliance defenses are sabotaged by a secret Alignment weapon, the defenders still manage to defeat the League force. However, the Alignment has smuggled nuclear weapons aboard Beowulf's orbital habitats. The detonations kill more than 43 million people, mostly civilians, but also large numbers of Alliance officials. (Harrington's husband, Admiral Alexander, barely escapes with his life.) The bombings occur well after the total defeat of the League force, showing who is responsible.

In response, the Alliance decides to bring a swift end to its conflict with the League. In "Operation Nemesis," Admiral Harrington and her Grand Fleet enter the solar system and demonstrate their overwhelming technological superiority, forcing the surrender of the Solarian League Navy without suffering a single casualty. To punish the League for its aggression and atrocities, Harrington has 2,000 years of built-up orbital infrastructure throughout the solar system destroyed, although no civilians are killed. Harrington threatens to repeat this action in the next four most wealthy systems, and then the next four, and so on, unless the League accepts the surrender terms. The Mandarins refuse to give up, but military and political leaders on Earth, having uncovered the Alignment's infiltration of the League, depose them and promulgate reforms.

Fire and Reign

Dinah breaks a protective spell that Cordelia placed on Miss Robichaux's Academy letting Michael and Ms. Mead in. They murder most of the witches, including Zoe, Queenie, and Bubbles, but Cordelia, Myrtle, and Mallory escape. Michael meets with Jeff and Mutt, who tell him that the Cooperative is a new name for the Illuminati, an organization of elites who have sold their souls to the Devil in exchange for worldly gifts, and who want to end the world. Jeff and Mutt give Ms. Venable the job of administrator of Outpost 3.

Cordelia, Myrtle, and Mallory, with Madison and Coco, take refuge in Misty Day's shack. Cordelia tries and fails to resurrect Zoe and Queenie, and Madison reveals that Langdon has the capability to erase souls from existence. Myrtle reveals that there might be a way to bring the dead witches back in the form of a time-travel spell, known as ''tempus infinitum'', but mentions that every attempt to perform the spell has resulted in death. Myrtle believes Mallory to be capable of performing the spell, and asks to travel back in time to save Anastasia Romanov, who was a witch, from her execution. Mallory successfully travels back in time, but is unable to save Anastasia.

Cordelia contemplates dying to let Mallory rise as Supreme, and therefore be able to perform the spell. Myrtle discourages her, certain that she has some fight left. The witches travel to California to seek aid from Behold and John Henry, only to find them and their students murdered (presumably by Langdon and Mead).

Michael meets with the Cooperative, and they begin to plan ending the world.

Apocalypse Then

Myrtle infiltrates Jeff and Mutt's lab to ensure Coco and her family have a place at Outpost 3 after the apocalypse. She and Cordelia cast identity spells on Coco and Mallory so they can live in the Outpost undetected by Michael. When Mallory's powers emerge, the spells will be broken so she can perform the time-travel spell and go back in time to kill Michael before he can initiate the apocalypse. Madison realizes Dinah, the voodoo queen, betrayed the witches to Michael. Cordelia decides to commit revenge after the apocalypse.

After the apocalypse; following the events of the witches' arrival at the outpost, Dinah asserts her loyalty to Michael, but her predecessor voodoo queen, Marie Laveau, has been released from hell by Papa Legba in exchange for Dinah's more corrupted soul. Marie kills Dinah and Cordelia detonates the robot Mead. With Michael distracted, Madison shoots him dead.

Before Michael can resurrect, Cordelia and Myrtle take Mallory to a safe place to begin the spell, but Mallory is stabbed by Brock leaving her too weak to perform the spell. Myrtle immolates Brock in retaliation as he falls to his death, distracting Madison long enough for Michael to resurrect. After reviving, Michael kills Madison, Marie, and Coco. Facing her last stand, Cordelia kills herself to confer her powers to Mallory, allowing her to initiate the spell.

Mallory arrives in 2015, and kills Michael while Constance Langdon watches and leaves him to die in the street, erasing the timeline of his rising to power.

Mallory arrives at the Robichaux Academy and meets the other witches for the first time from their perspective. With the timeline altered, Myrtle remains dead and Madison remains in hell. Mallory also prevents Queenie from checking in to the Hotel Cortez to avoid her impending death. Out of gratitude to Mallory for dispatching Michael; Misty Day, accompanied by Nan, was released from her afterlife and returns to the school.

In 2020, Timothy and Emily, selected for Outpost 3 in the previous timeline, meet. Three years later, they have a child, named Devon, who eventually kills his nanny similar to Michael's first murder. Anton LaVey, Samantha Crowe, and Mead arrive at the house to meet the new Antichrist, claiming that they came to help.

An Acceptable Loss

National security expert Elizabeth "Libby" Lamm (Sumpter) is hired as an adjunct professor of foreign policy at the prestigious Grant University. She is the former national security adviser to U.S. Vice President Rachel Burke (Curtis). She arrives amid protests and the university employees are cold to her, including her assistant and another professor who confronts her at a university mixer. Dr. Lamm is recognizable due to a Capital Dispatch op-ed where she explains and defends her role in an attack by US forces, revealed later in the film to be a strike on Homs.

Dr. Lamm is extra cautious about security, preferring to live her daily life without an email address, cell phone, landline or computer. Every night, she comes home to her study and writes feverishly on note pads at her desk. She has over a dozen of them completely filled and locks them in a vintage safe that she purchased from an antique shop. She walks around her home with a loaded Glock 17 and is always alerted to unfamiliar sounds. Dr. Lamm is being stalked by Martin Salhi (Ben Tavassoli), a graduate student at the university. Martin is withdrawn and sullen, and is intentionally standoffish from his roommate Jordan (Alex Weisman). Martin follows her home and later creates fake lawn service flyers as pretext to case her home. He breaks into her home and installs miniature cameras to observe her movements. He watches Dr. Lamm place the note pads in the safe.

One day, Dr. Lamm is approached at her home by Adrian (Jeff Hephner), the president's chief of staff. It is revealed that they were lovers when he was a policy adviser in the White House. He wants assurances that she will not reveal details of the Homs operation but she rebuffs him. A few days later, Adrian returns, this time demanding fidelity to the administration. Dr. Lamm angrily refuses. This incident prompts her to dismiss her class and rush home where she finds Martin breaking into her safe. While holding him at gunpoint, Martin admits to stalking and states that he was trying to understand how someone who could commit such an enormous atrocity, referring to the attack on Homs. He tells her that his parents and siblings lived in Homs and that he wanted "to understand the face of evil." Dr. Lamm then gives him the note pads she had been writing on to read. She is writing a memoir that she wants to be published that exposes the aggression behind the attack.

Four years earlier, Dr. Lamm is in the White House situation room and advises on a plan with a high-security group including the president and vice-president. She tells the group that 5 leaders of the most dangerous terrorist groups in the world, plus a nuclear scientist, will be meeting in Homs, Syria to discuss strategy. Dr. Lamm favors more conventional action but she is interrupted by Vice President Burke who overwhelming endorses Plan 712. The plan involves a nuclear strike that will result in an extreme mass casualty loss. Dr. Lamm ultimately and reluctantly endorses the plan. The attack kills the intended targets as well as causing the deaths of 150,000 civilians. It's revealed that the intel used in the attack was manufactured by Dr. Lamm on Burke's orders.

As Martin finishes reading, her home is broken into by undercover agents. Dr. Lamm and Martin escape and go on the run. Her intention is to take the memoir to her father Phillip Lamm (Clarke Peters), chief editor of the Springfield Register. They spend the night on the beach but Martin awakens to find Dr. Lamm gone, but the note pads were left with him. Dr. Lamm awakes in a basement and is approached by Adrian and current President Rachel Burke. President Burke tries to convince her to join her cabinet as Secretary of State in exchange for burying the memoir. Dr. Lamm realizes that the agents left the memoir with Martin and are surveilling him, hoping that he would lead them to more copies if there are any. She refuses President Burke's offer and is prepared to accept whatever consequences that come from its publication.

The president leaves and tells Adrian to release Dr. Lamm and end the surveillance on Martin. She believes she will be exonerated by the public by asserting the years of domestic safety as proof of its success. Adrian objects, believing that by not neutralizing the two, it will be political suicide. The president disagrees and overrules him. Dr. Lamm is released across the street from the Springfield Register. She enters the lobby and sees Martin and her father there. Suddenly a bomb explodes and destroys the lobby. It is revealed that Adrian acted on his own. Twenty-three people are confirmed dead including Dr. Lamm, her father and Martin, with the attack being blamed on him. After the apartment they shared was searched by the FBI, Jordan opens an email from Martin that was sent earlier. It's revealed that Martin had secretly bought a burner phone after losing the men that were following him, scanned the memoir and then emailed it to Jordan, asking him to give it to the media to reveal the truth.

Benedetta (film)

In 17th century Italy, young Benedetta Carlini is being taken to the convent in the town of Pescia to become a nun. When they stop at a roadside altar to pray, a group of bandits arrive and attempt to steal Benedetta's mother's necklace. The devout Benedetta warns them that she speaks with the Virgin Mary, who will punish them. When a bird, which Benedetta had identified as a sign that Mary has heard her, defecates in the bandit leader's eye, he gives back the necklace.

In Pescia, Benedetta is taken into the convent, run by Abbess Felicita. Years later, Benedetta is a grown woman, and a devout nun. During a play, in which Benedetta is playing the Virgin Mary, she has a vision of Jesus calling to her. A young woman named Bartolomea seeks shelter in the convent from her abusive father. Benedetta is assigned to oversee the integration of the poor and uneducated Bartolomea into the life of the convent. Bartolomea tells Benedetta that she was sexually abused by her father and brothers. That night, Bartolomea kisses Benedetta. Benedetta warns Bartolomea to be wary of the Abbess and her daughter, Sister Christina.

Benedetta begins to have visions of Jesus calling her to join him and saving her from dangers. After a particularly fraught vision, where a man who she mistakes for Jesus saves her from being gang raped, Benedetta falls into a deep illness. Abbess Felicita assigns Bartolomea to look after her. Benedetta begins to recover and starts teaching the illiterate Bartolomea to read and write. Benedetta has a vision of Christ on the cross. He tells her to undress herself and him and then touch his hands. The next morning, Benedetta wakes up with stigmata on her hands and feet.

An investigation ensues. Abbess Felicita is skeptical because previous incidents of stigmata have always occurred during prayer and Benedetta was asleep. Benedetta also lacks the head wounds formed by the crown of thorns. After leaving Felicita's chambers, Benedetta collapses. As people rush to check on her, she begins speaking in a male voice, castigating those who do not believe in her. She now has bleeding wounds on her forehead. Sister Christina notices a shard of broken glass on the floor and tells her mother that she believes that Benedetta inflicted the wounds herself. Felicita warns her that the male power structure has decided to verify Benedetta's stigmata as a legitimate miracle for political purposes.

Benedetta is elevated to Abbess in place of Felicita. Christina speaks out against this, but is warned by her mother that going against this decision could destroy her. Benedetta and Bartolomea are moved into Felicita's old quarters and begin having sex. Bartolomea carves a sex toy for Benedetta, using one end of a small wooden statue of the Virgin Mary which Benedetta had brought with her to the convent as a child. Christina goes to the priest and shares her belief that Benedetta faked her stigmata. She lies and says that she saw Benedetta inflict her head injuries. At meal time the next day, the priest makes Christina say her accusations publicly. When called on to back up her daughter's claim, Felicita refuses to lie and says that Christina did not directly witness what happened. Benedetta, apparently possessed with the spirit of Jesus, orders Christina to flagellate herself. Felicita observes Benedetta and Bartolomea having sex through a peep hole in their chambers.

A comet passes over the abbey, which many interpret as a sign of impending tragedy. As it passes, Christina flings herself from the abbey roof. As she dies, Benedetta asks to intercede with God on behalf of her soul, but an angry Felicita tells her to stay away. As a plague begins to ravage the countryside, Benedetta has a vision that Pescia will be spared and orders the abbey closed to prevent infection. Felicita slips out and travels to meet with the local Nuncio, sharing what she knows about Benedetta's sexual indiscretions.

Felicita returns to the abbey with the Nuncio as the plague worsens. Entering the abbey, they discover that Benedetta has died of unknown causes. As the Nuncio attempts to administer the last rites, Benedetta awakens, saying that she was in heaven and has seen the fates of all those present. The Nuncio has his men search the abbey for the wooden sex toy but they cannot find it. He opens a court of inquiry into Benedetta's conduct. When questioned, Bartolomea denies having sex, saying that she loves Benedetta as she does her other sisters. The Nuncio talks with Benedetta in private. As she washes his feet, she notices a flea, and realizes that he has likely brought the plague into the abbey.

Bartolomea is tortured by the Nuncio's men and finally confesses to her sexual activities and leads the Nuncio to the wooden dildo, hidden inside a book in Benedetta's chambers. He has Benedetta arrested but she once more begins speaking in a man's voice and lashes out at those who persecute her, announcing that the Nuncio will soon fall ill. The Nuncio discovers that Felicita has the plague and orders her condition hidden. Bartolomea is expelled from the abbey.

The day has arrived for Benedetta to be executed. She first asks to speak to Felicita to beg forgiveness. She tells Felicita that Christina is in heaven. A distraught Felicita asks Benedetta what she has seen of her future. Benedetta whispers something to her. The Nuncio is warned that the people of Pescia will not allow Benedetta to be executed, but he proceeds anyway. As Benedetta is led through the crowd, Bartolomea pushes her way to the front and begs forgiveness. Benedetta merely smiles at her and states she needed to be betrayed. In the town square, the Nuncio tells Benedetta that he will allow her to be strangled rather than burned at the stake if she confesses. Benedetta agrees.

Benedetta reveals new stigmata on her hands and begins speaking in a male voice, telling the crowd that the angel of death approaches. Felicita emerges from the crowd and doffs her robe, revealing plague sores. The Nuncio's men begin burning Benedetta at the stake, but the crowd attacks them, forcing them to flee. Bartolomea unties Benedetta but discovers a bloody potsherd at her feet. The Nuncio flees for safety, but is attacked and killed by a mob. Benedetta arrives and offers to pray for him.

Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears

Phryne Fisher helps to rescue a young Bedouin girl called Shirin from imprisonment in 1920s Jerusalem. While doing so she is suspected of having died. Shirin is reunited with her uncle Sheikh Kahlil Abbas and they travel to Lofthouse Manor in England where a memorial is being held for Miss Fisher by her friends Lord and Lady Lofthouse. DI Jack Robinson travels to England from Australia to attend the memorial and is just about to deliver her eulogy when Miss Fisher arrives in her biplane.

Shirin discusses with Miss Fisher about how she came to be in Jerusalem. As a child, a sandstorm had wiped out her village and she was the only survivor having been rescued by a mysterious stranger. This stranger has now sent her a letter asking to meet at All Saints' Church at midnight. Miss Fisher notices that the letter had already been opened so volunteers to attend the meeting on Shirin's behalf as it could be dangerous. On her way to the meeting, she asks DI Robinson to accompany her to the meeting. At the church, she approaches a British man called Wilson. He is shot by an unknown assailant. Before dying, he gives Miss Fisher an emerald amulet which he asks her to give to Shirin. Miss Fisher and DI Robinson are arrested at the scene and the police reveal that Wilson was a felon who had deserted the British army with fellow soldier Captain Harry Templeton who has already been executed for desertion.

Miss Fisher and DI Robinson visit antiquities expert Professor Linnaeus, who explains that the amulet is engraved with the inscription "Crypt of Tears", which was connected to Alexander the Great, and that he believes that it is cursed. While there, the unknown assailant attempts to steal the amulet from DI Robinson who manages to fight them off. The following morning, Miss Fisher sneaks into the Sheikh's bedroom at Lofthouse Manor where she discovers that the Sheikh had signed an agreement with Lord Lofthouse and businessman Vincent 'Monty' Montague involving the British Palestine Railways. Later in the night, he is shot dead by the unknown assailant.

DI Robinson visits Captain Templeton's widow who gives him an astrolabe which had been owned by her husband. Miss Fisher finds a large emerald in a pot in the Sheikh's room which is verified by Professor Linnaeus as being linked to the amulet. DI Robinson, Miss Fisher, Jonathon Lofthouse (the younger brother of Lord Lofthouse), and Shirin all travel to Negev and find a tomb in the desert using the astrolabe. A corpse, which had been stabbed by a dagger carrying Jonathon's insignia, is found in the tomb. He reveals that he had accompanied Captain Templeton and Wilson to Shirin's village a decade ago in search of the jewels. Captain Templeton had shot and murdered the villagers. Shirin's mother showed them to the tomb where upon hearing the gunshots, there was a struggle where he accidentally killed her. He returned with them so that he could return the jewels as he believes that he is cursed. Miss Fisher therefore figures out that the unknown assailant is someone trying to protect Jonathon which she identifies as his real father, the Lofthouse's butler, Crippins. He emerges from the shadow of the tomb and attempts to steal the jewels but is stopped by Jonathon who holds him hostage while the others escape from the collapsing tomb walls.

Miss Fisher tells lord Lofthouse the truth about Jonathon and later says goodbye to Shirin. After pretending to shoot a spider to appease to Miss Fisher's fears, Jack and Phryne have a heart to heart about their relationship. He tells her that he doesn't need to marry her, he just needs her heart and she declares she had already given it to him. They share a kiss.

In the epilogue Phryne receives a letter announcing her husband, who she married to help him secure his kingdom while he was in love with someone else has been murdered.

One Cut of the Dead

In the first section of the film, the cast and crew of a low-budget zombie film called ''One Cut of the Dead'' are shooting at an abandoned water filtration plant. Director Higurashi, desperate for film success due to mounting debts, and frustrated at the actors' work, arranges for a blood pentagram to be painted to activate real zombies per the plant's haunted past. Cameraman Hosoda turns into a zombie and bites assistant director Kasahara, turning him as well. Actress Chinatsu, actor Ko, and makeup artist Nao lock the zombies out of the plant. Higurashi insists they continue filming using the real zombies. Sound engineer Yamago rushes out of the plant and is infected. Higurashi brings zombified Yamago back in for more footage, throwing him at the other humans. Nao decapitates zombified Yamago and is splattered with zombie blood, possibly infecting her.

Chinatsu, Ko, and Nao attempt to escape, but Higurashi facilitates an attack by zombified Kasahara while he films. Chinatsu is confronted by the zombies and saved by Ko. They reunite with Nao, who suspects that Chinatsu is infected. Nao attempts to kill Chinatsu and chases her, dispatching the zombies in the process during the chase. Offscreen, Ko kills Nao to save Chinatsu. Also offscreen, a zombified Nao infects Ko. An unidentified zombie approaches Chinatsu and leaves. Chinatsu confronts zombified Ko in a repeat of the scene at the start of the film, after briefly being interrupted by zombified Nao, Chinatsu decapitates zombified Ko. Higurashi berates Chinatsu for killing his 'actor'. Chinatsu kills Higurashi, and she ends the first section by standing on the blood pentagram in a trance-like state.

The second section of the film involves the personal lives of the real cast and crew of the ''One Cut of the Dead'' production as they prepare to make the one-shot take. ''One Cut of the Dead'' is also revealed to be a live show, so no reshoots or delays are possible.

The third section of the film depicts the chaotic shooting of ''One Cut of the Dead'' from behind the scenes. Two main actors could not make filming, forcing director Takayuki Hamatsu and his wife Harumi Shuhama to step in to fill the roles of Higurashi and Nao. It is revealed that during the shooting, Harumi Shuhama overacted his first scene by physically accosting his fellow actor, then Manabu Hosoi (who played Hosoda) passed out drunk and later vomited, Shuntaro Yamazaki's diarrhea led to his character Yamago leaving the plant off-script, the main cameraman suffered a back injury and was replaced, Harumi Shuhama went off-script and attacked various real cast and crew during the scene of Nao chasing Chinatsu, forcing Takayuki Hamatsu to choke her out, and later forcibly remove a revived Harumi Shuhama from interrupting the ending scene between Chinatsu and Ko. It is also revealed that the zombie which did not attack Chinatsu was a crew member giving instructions, while the camera crane was broken in an accident, leading to the real cast and crew forming a human pyramid to mimic a crane shot for the end of the first section. The faux-crane shot is successful, and the real cast and crew are elated at the successful filming.

Roaring Fire

In Hong Kong, a crime syndicate has cornered and ultimately shot down Toru Hinoharu, the heir to a major business corporation. Meanwhile, in Texas, we learn that there is another man who looks exactly like the late Toru, a cowboy named Joji Hibiki. When Joji learns his father is on his deathbed, his father reveals the truth about him. Given a letter, Joji learns that Mr. Hibiki had kidnapped Joji as a young boy due to his aspirations on trying to be wealthy in Japan. However, over the eighteen years, Hibiki actually thought of Joji as a son. Hibiki writes that Joji has a twin brother and sister and had read in a Japanese newspaper that his twin brother (Toru) was killed in Hong Kong. Joji heads to Japan to learn the truth about who he is.

Upon his arrival in Kobe, Joji meets a man who attempts to pickpocket him. While the man successfully steals his wallet, Joji's insistence to take him to the old Hinoharu place allows the thief to take him there. When Joji arrives with his monkey Peter, Peter steals a top from a bikini clad woman, prompting the woman and her friends to confront Joji. When Joji attempts to say it was a mistake, the girls call for the hulking Spartacus, whose futile attempts to catch Joji eventually gives the duo a level of respect. Meanwhile, someone has recognized Joji and mistakes him for the dead Toru. That night, Joji finds the pickpocket and confronts him and his friends. However, the group soon earn Joji's respect and they become friends.

Ikeda Hinokaru has learned about Joji and takes him in. Joji meets his sister Chihiro, who has been blind since the age of nine. At first thinking Joji is Toru, Joji reveals his true identity and Chihiro is relieved to hear she has another brother. To celebrate Joji's return, Ikeda gives Joji a chance to see Chihiro demonstrate her martial arts skills. While she is blinded, she uses the power of sound and the wind to find her attackers. That night, the family heads to a show performed by ventriloquist "Mr. Magic", who through his puppet, tells Joji that his uncle may not be who he is seen to be. When the group returns him, Joji overhears a conversation with Ikeda and the father of Reika, one of his new friends. Joji learns his uncle is the head of a local syndicate and that he has hired Reika's father to find a rare diamond known as the Queen of Sheba. When Reika's father attempts to quit, he is stomped on by Ikeda's moll and is forced to remain when Ikeda threatens to tell Reika about her father. Ikeda learns Joji has overheard the conversation and sets out to stop him. He puts Joji into a trap where he is forced to fight an American boxer followed by a staff expert. Joji is able to defeat them both and escape.

The next day, Joji, Reika, and another friend are chased by a ninja-like brigade hired by Ikeda, in which the friend, willing to distract them so Joji and Reika can escape, ends up thrown in a garbage can after an attempt to fight them off. When Ikeda sends some of his own men against Joji, Joji is able to fend off some of them until he is cornered. He gets some help from Spartacus, who sacrifices himself in order for Joji to escape. Joji and Reika are left, being chased by some shogun-like goons on bicycles until the entire brigade crash in a pile of cardboard boxes. Ikeda, unhappy with what has happened, decides to use Chihiro for bait and despite her efforts to fend off against her traitorous uncle and goons, is beaten bad and forced to take heroin. When Joji is forced to find the Queen of Shiba, he finds the diamond and when he returns with the diamond for Chihiro, he and Reika fall into a trap, but not before Reika sees her father shot down before her. One of Ikeda's molls, dressed up like a member of the Third Reich, has the trap Joji and Reika in filled with gas that was apparently used during World War II, which will cause madness within ten minutes. When the moll slips up into the trap, Joji and Reika and able to escape while the moll falls into madness.

Joji fights off more thugs and successfully rescues Chihiro, who by this time, is heavily under the influence from heroin and tells Joji that he must keep the Hinoharu name alive for good. When Ikeda and his goons arrive to kill Joji, Chihiro sacrifices herself to save her brother as she is shot down and falls off a cliff. Joji learns that Ikeda is planning to use the Queen of Sheba to forge an alliance with the Hong Kong syndicate responsible for Toru's death. Joji heads to Hong Kong to follow his uncle and seeks revenge. After fighting off both members of the syndicate and Ikeda's men in the streets, Joji gets assistance from Mr. Magic, who is revealed to be Shinsuke Tachizawa, a narcotics agent working for Interpol. Tachizawa tells Joji to let the authorities handle the matter, but Joji is insistent on getting to Ikeda. At first, Tachizawa threatens to arrest Joji but instead helps him. A brief fight scene with Joji and Tachizawa teaming up leads to the arrest of the Hong Kong syndicate boss.

When Ikeda and his group are celebrating their alliance, Joji busts in by throwing one of Ikeda's men through the glass roof, forcing the thug to crash into the dinner table. Joji singlehandedly faces off against all of Ikeda's men. With his lead moll and one henchmen shooting at him, he is able to use the sais of one of Ikeda's men and throws it at their hands. Ikeda narrowly escapes when Joji fights a hulking member of the goons. Joji is able to defeat the big man and finds himself targeted by more of Ikeda's men. An attempt to follow Ikeda by horseback leads to two men in a helicopter following Joji. One sports grenades and the other a machine gun. As Joji attempts to hide, he uses a tomahawk to hit the helicopter's fuel tank. When the gun-trotting thug sees Joji, his attempt to shoot Joji causes him to hit the leaking gas, causing the helicopter to crash, killing both thugs.

Joji then diverts Ikeda's getaway car into the river after forcing a samurai henchman to accidentally kill the driver. Ikeda escapes before the car plunges into the river. When the samurai comes out to confront Joji, he is distracted by Joji's splashing of the water. Joji gives the samurai a crushing blow to his throat. Ikeda is the last one remaining and Joji follows him up a small cliff. Ikeda shoots Joji in the shoulder, forcing him to hide behind rocks. Taking off his shirt and throwing it as a distraction, Ikeda is now confronted by Joji and after having one bullet left, tells Joji they have the same Hinoharu blood. Joji responds that his name is Joji Hibiki and is able to kick the gun out of Ikeda and puts him up against the cliff wall. Giving Ikeda the Queen of Sheba, Joji sees Ikeda grabng and looking at the diamond, at which he then proceeds to impale Ikeda's eye with the diamond with a punch. Ikeda falls off the cliff to his death. Tachizawa arrives and arrests Joji. On the ride back, Tachizawa decides to let Joji by using magic to uncuff him. Joji, excited at the chance to leave and return to Texas, is seen in a freeze frame as he jumps out of the helicopter into the ocean.

The Guided Man

For mild-mannered Ovid Ross of Rattlesnake, Montana, struggling to gain his footing among the city slickers of New York City, the Telegog Company seems to offer a solution to his social problems. Its proprietary technology allows the inept to have their bodies taken over remotely by experts who easily steer them through awkward situations. After hearing salesman Mr. Nye's sales pitch and meeting in-house professionals Gilbert Falck and Jerome Bundy, Ross signs up and receives the necessary implant.

Ross first signals his "guide" on facing a terrifying job interview with Timothy Hoolihan, tyrannical director of ''The Garment Gazette'' trade journal; Falck takes over and under his control Ross effortlessly finesses Hoolihan and gets the job. Enthusiastic over his success, Ross treats Falke to drinks after work, and later calls up his girlfriend Claire La Motte with the good news. To celebrate, Claire invites him over for a Sunday picnic at the estate of the Peshkovs, a wealthy Russian family she works for, including Falck and the latter's girl in the invitation.

After Ross learns the ropes at his new job he is sent out to interview one of the journal's major advertisers, Marcus Ballin of Outstanding Knitwear, for a feature article. Worried he might blow it, he calls in Falck again. He also extends Claire's invitation and arranges to have Bundy backstop him on the picnic if necessary, given that Falck will be unable to do so.

Under Falck's guidance, Ross's interview of Ballin goes well until the knitwear man starts talking about a current project; a pageant to choose the most beautiful bust in America from among women modeling Outstanding's sheer sweaters. It seems he needs a third judge. To his horror, Ross finds Falck volunteering him for the role. His guide afterwards says he has done Ross a favor, it being "an opportunity most men would fight tooth and nail for." The mortified Ross demands Falck see him through it, to which Falck smugly replies he has every intention of doing so.

Strait-laced Hoolihan is not happy to hear what Ross will be doing, but his subordinates talk him into agreeing, lest the journal lose Ballin's account. Meanwhile, Sunday rolls around, and Ross picks up Falck and the guide's date Dorothea Dunkelberg for their picnic with Claire. Having signaled Bundy, Ross is confident he will not commit any gaffes. Claire shows the party around the Peshkov estate and points out neighboring properties, among them the Heliac Health Club, a nudist camp.

After lunch, Falck asks to use the phone, and uses it to call Bundy. He tells Bundy that Ross is bombing with Claire, and suggests he "give him a more aggressive and uninhibited pattern." Bundy agrees, unaware that Falck, who has become smitten with Claire, is not out to help Ross but to sabotage him. Shortly Ross is bossing the party, even browbeating everyone into swimming naked. At this point the Peshkovs, who were expected to be absent all day, return, forcing the dishabille picnickers to run for the woods to hide. In a bit of luck, they find themselves on the grounds of the Heliac Club, where they fit right in. Less happily, one of the club members turns out to be Marcus Ballin, but neither he nor Ross are interested in their presence at Heliac coming out, and agree to keep things quiet. Ballin does suggest Claire enter his contest, though!

Provided clothing by a helpful matron, Claire retrieves the others' outfits from the Peshkov estate, and Ross uses the signaler in his pocket to have Bundy release control. He then shamefacedly apologizes to Claire for his earlier behavior, but she laughs it off, confiding she has not had so much fun in years. She also decides to enter Ballin's contest. Despite his chagrin over Bundy's guidance, Ross realizes he has to stick with Telegog for a while. As for the frustrated Falck, thwarted in his sabotage attempt, he doubles down, installing a switch in Bundy's control booth that will enable him to secretly flip control of their clients whenever he wants.

At the contest, there are complications. Ross, guided by Falck, performs well, but Claire is worried because her employer Bogdin Peshkov, whom she suspects of lusting after her, is present—and drunk. Sure enough, when Claire is denied first place, Peshkov makes a scene, whereupon Ballin orders him removed. Falck, seizing his chance to embarrass Ross, flips his switch, and his control of Ross is flipped to Bundy, currently controlling a ballet dancer; Ross pirouettes across the stage, slamming into Peshkov, who is now threatening the gathering with a pistol. As the shocked Bundy releases control, Ross himself takes charge and successfully restores order.

Far from being shamed, Ross is now a hero. The grateful Ballin hires him away from ''The Garment Gazette'', and Mr. Nye at Telegog assures him that Falck's subterfuge has been discovered and the disgraced guide fired. He offers a free extension of its services in compensation for the trouble, but Ross declines. Newly confident in his own abilities, he has proposed to Claire and been accepted. But, Nye urges, suppose he prove bashful on his wedding night—? "No!" shouts Ross. "By gosh, there's some things I'm gonna do for myself!"

West Pier (play)

There are eight characters. * Maurice Koch, 60 years old; Monique Pons, 42. * Cécile, 60; her daughter Claire, 14; her husband Rodolfe, 58; and their son Charles, 28. * A boy about 22 with the surname Fak. * An unnamed man about 30, whom Charles calls Abad a few times.

The setting, a derelict warehouse in an abandoned section of a port city, is a kind of character as well, both space and non-space, empty but real. Plot, wrote one critic, "was never Koltès's strength", yet he essayed a brief summation: "a suicidal financial wizard and his girlfriend, a homeless Latin American family and two creepy opportunists engage in a hellish but often funny battle in which everyone is both predator and prey", concluding with "a couple of spectacular murders that seem so natural they are cathartic". Another offers this precis: "The action tells the story of Maurice Koch, a businessman who jumps into a river after parting from his secretary Monique Pons. He is pulled out by Charles, whose relatives hope to gain from the rescue. The plot is based on exchange and trafficking and plays on the apprehension of the other and of oneself."

The characters come from opposing worlds and never should have met. Their face-to-face encounter forces the conflicts of the modern world to the fore: immigration, social displacement, poverty, the right to dignity. The director is challenged to present this chance meeting "at the crossroads of trivial and poetic" and needs "actors-monsters" with "an exceptional physical and vocal presence" to deliver Koltes' "splendid text", often in the long monologues typical of Koltes.

Remothered: Tormented Fathers

An old woman named Madame Svenska meets a young man named Mr. Manni, who she begins recounting an old story to him so that it will not be forgotten.

In the year 1992, a mysterious woman named Rosemary Reed heads to the villa of Dr. Richard Felton, a retired notary, to discuss how to treat the mysterious and incurable illness he suffers from. During the interview, it is revealed that Felton's adopted daughter, Celeste, ran away from home 21 years prior and his now deceased former business partner, Professor Albert Elias Wyman, was the prime suspect for her disappearance. However, it is quickly revealed that Reed only used the medical interview as a pretext to find out the truth behind Celeste's disappearance. Angered, Felton orders Reed to leave the villa.

Later that night, Reed sneaks back into the villa using a spare key left by Felton's nurse, Gloria Ashmann, in order to find Felton's wife, Arianna Gallo, who might have the answers she's looking for. However, upon reaching Arianna's bedroom, Reed only finds a decomposed corpse and soon begins having to scour the villa for more clues while a psychotic Felton stalks the halls. Eventually, Reed finds out from a recorded hypnosis session (and from Felton himself) that Celeste had actually returned home after her disappearance but due to his madness, Felton came to believe Celeste was a different girl named Jennifer and murdered her. Just as Reed manages to escape from her bindings, a masked nun dressed in red appears in the villa and begins chasing both Reed and Felton. Eventually, Reed sees a young woman that flees into attic; upon finding something to help get up there, Reed is then attacked by the mysterious girl and falls down the ladder, knocking herself unconscious.

When Reed finally regains consciousness, the woman apologizes for attacking her and tells her of a hidden room Felton sealed away. Reed finds and opens the sealed room, discovering that it was originally Celeste's bedroom. After investigating, Reed discovers a tape recorder that reveals how, after Celeste returned home, she was imprisoned within the villa alongside Arianna by Felton and subjected to forced hypnosis sessions which gradually began to destroy her memories, leading her to desperately try and find a way to escape. Reed eventually finds and follows Celeste's escape route but ends up falling into the sewers beneath the villa and is hunted by the red nun again. Upon climbing back up to the surface of the mansion, Reed discovers Felton's birth certificate, listing his name as "Jennifer Richardine Felton". This knowledge causes Reed to realize that Felton was actually born a girl but was raised as a boy and given testosterone treatments by her cruel father, leading Felton to developing a split personality, creating the "Richard" and "Jennifer" personas. In fact, the young woman Reed met earlier was actually Felton in their Jennifer character.

After a dangerous encounter with Jennifer, Reed winds up meeting Felton's nurse, Gloria Ashmann and warns her about Felton's madness. Gloria is shocked that Felton murdered Arianna, and confirms all of the revelations about Celeste and Felton's past. However, Gloria then drugs Reed, revealing herself to actually be the red nun. Reed attempts to escape but is then captured by Felton. When Reed wakes up, Gloria reveals that she had been experimenting on Felton for revenge and manipulated him into murdering Arianna, but Celeste was able to escape. Gloria then orders Felton to kill Reed in a murder-suicide. Fortunately, Reed is able to escape and manages to kill Felton by setting him on fire, after he drenched himself with kerosene. Reed then heads to the attic where she find Celeste's escape route and tricks Gloria into falling out of a window.

Reed approaches the mortally wounded Gloria, who reveals that she, Felton, and her fellow nuns of the Cristo Morente convent near the Rosso Gallo farms were subjected to inhumane experiments by Wyman in order to perfect "Phenoxyl", an anti-psychotropic drug created by Felton, the Ashmanns, and Professor Wyman himself by synthesizing a rare species of parasitic moth to repress and erase traumatic memories that was eventually banned in the late 1960s for its horrific side effects, including severe photosensitivity, hallucinations, ulcers, proliferation of the parasitic moths, and homicidal rage.

Gloria then recognizes Reed as one of her fellow nuns, who set fire to the entire project to put a stop to the experiments conducted on the nuns of the convent. Reed confirms it but says her memories of that period are still missing. Gloria apologizes to and forgives Reed, telling her to keep searching for Celeste before finally passing away. Reed returns to Celeste's room with a piano key Gloria gave to her and finds a clue, a luggage tag pointing her towards the Flemmington Girls' Institute, an all-girls' boarding school.

Back in the present, Madame Svenska tells Mr. Manni that Reed continued her search for Celeste.

30 years later, Daniel's brother Alex, the estranged son of the owners of the successful Le Domas Family Games company, is set to marry Grace, a former foster child. On her wedding day, she meets the Le Domases: Daniel and his snobbish wife Charity; Alex's cocaine-addicted sister Emilie, her oafish husband Fitch, and their young sons Georgie and Gabe; Alex's unpleasant aunt Helene, and his parents Tony and Becky. After the ceremony, Tony explains that his ancestor Victor Le Domas made a deal with a man named "Le Bail" to build the Le Domas fortune in exchange for the family observing a tradition: At midnight on their wedding day every new member draws a game card from Le Bail's puzzle box. Grace draws "Hide-and-Seek", offers a toast to Le Bail, and as she hides the Le Domases arm themselves. Alex enters the mansion's secret passages and finds Grace, who witnesses Emilie accidentally kill a maid whom she mistakes for Grace.

Alex reveals that his family is cursed: if the new member draws the Hide-and-Seek card, the rest of the family has to find and ritually sacrifice them before dawn or they die instead. The deadly game was last played by Helene's husband, Charles. With the mansion locked down, Alex disables the security system to allow Grace to escape. She is discovered by Daniel, who is disillusioned with his family and gives her a head start before alerting the others, leading Emilie to accidentally kill another maid.

She escapes and squeezes through the front gate. Pursued by Stevens, she fights him off, takes his car, and tries to call the police using the car's onboard system. The operator informs her on the recorded call that the car has been reported stolen, remotely turns it off, and says the police have been sent. Stevens subdues Grace with a tranquilizer gun, but she awakens and attacks him, causing the car to crash and kill him. Daniel, nearby the crash, captures Grace after realizing that his father is secretly watching.

The Le Domases drink from a ceremonial cup, but as they prepare the ritual, they begin to vomit blood. Daniel frees Grace, having laced the cup with a non-lethal dose of hydrochloric acid. Charity shoots Daniel in the neck, leaving him to bleed to death, and Grace disarms her and bludgeons Tony with a lantern. In the ongoing chaos, the mansion is set on fire, and Grace is attacked by Becky, whom she beats to death with Le Bail's box.

Alex escapes his restraints and goes to rescue Grace, but she pulls away from him. Realizing that she will never trust him and will almost certainly leave him once she escapes, he subdues her to complete the ritual. Grace breaks free from the ritual table after being stabbed in the shoulder, just as the sun rises. The Le Domases brace for death, but nothing happens. Believing themselves safe, Helene attempts to attack Grace but suddenly explodes midstride, with the rest of the family exploding soon after. In his last moments, Alex desperately attempts to apologize to Grace, but she declares she wants a divorce and throws her wedding ring at him as he explodes.

The Guardian tells him that he has 100 days to discover the reason for Min's death, or die permanently. Reluctantly, the spirit assumes the role of Min, going home with his mother. He meets his brother Menn, who does little to conceal his dislike of Min, and his father, who had quit his job as a university lecturer to pursue a multi-level marketing career selling supplements. His mother, an engineer, soon returns to work in a distant province. At school, he discovers that Min has few friends, Li being his only close friend, and that he has a crush on Pi, his elder tutoring peer who is a top student.

The spirit gradually adjusts to Min's life, and begins to feel comfortable, but as his relationship with Pi develops and he attempts to delve into Min's past, he discovers the many problems he had with his family and friends. His brother hates him for being the problem child, his father ruined the family's finances, and his mother is having an affair. Pi was allowing a teacher to molest her in exchange for academic opportunities. He realizes why Min would want to leave this life, and tells the Guardian that all of them contributed to Min's suicide, but the answer was rejected, wasting his only chance.

Resigned to the final days of his life as Min, several events lead him to notice the love and support others have offered. Seeing things in a new light, he tries to make the best of his remaining days, addressing past conflicts and tying up loose ends. On his last day, he and Li watch rehearsals for the school's card stunt competition, for which Li had submitted one of Min's old designs (from before his suicide). As the card stunt is shown to be identical to a design the new Min recently drew, he realizes just as time runs out that he was Min in his previous life, and past memories come rushing back to him. He sees the Guardian one last time, and tells the Guardian that his death was his own fault, as he refused to see the positive things in life. The Guardian reveals to him that the test was a trick to make him realize, and that he can now enjoy his new life.

Guava Island

An animated folk tale narrated by Kofi Novia (Rihanna) introduces the origins of Guava Island and the music played by Deni Maroon (Donald Glover), a local celebrity who lives with Kofi. She wakes up to Deni playing a tune on his guitar. He rushes out of their house and is greeted by many passersby on the street on his way to work; Deni is holding a music festival that the whole town is looking forward to. He is mugged by a group of kids he knows and he convinces them not to rob him by promising them seats up front at the festival.

Kofi works in a factory as a seamstress with Yara while Deni works for Red Cargo, owned by a despotic business magnate named Red who employs most of the people on the island. While at work, an employee details what he would do if he were able to emigrate to America, which Deni dismisses as ignorant ("This Is America"). Deni is kidnapped and taken to Red's office. Red bribes Deni into canceling his festival so that it will not interrupt productivity the next day. When Deni questions his power, Red destroys his guitar.

He returns to Kofi, who asks him about his injury and his guitar's absence. Deni brushes off her inquiry, instead serenading her with the song he had promised to write since they were children ("Summertime Magic"). Deni suddenly has to go. Later at work, Kofi tells Yara that she is reluctant to tell Deni that she is pregnant because of his free-spirited lifestyle.

Inspired by two children, Zoila and Mapi ("Time"), Deni performs on the radio again and announces that he will be at the festival ("Feels Like Summer"). Kofi is ambushed by Red while both look for Deni; Red asks Kofi to tell him to break a leg. Deni starts the festival late and performs a song dedicated to Zoila and Mapi ("Saturday"). Kofi spots a masked gunman just before he opens fire on the stage. Deni escapes into an alleyway, but the gunman finds and assassinates him.

Red is pleased, but then he discovers that all of his employees have left work to attend a joyous blue-themed memorial for Deni ("Die with You"); Kofi tells Red that they all finally "got their day". In an epilogue, Kofi starts telling her child a story about how dreams come true.

Possum (2018 film)

Philip Connell, a disgraced children's puppeteer, is forced to return to his childhood home in Norfolk, which is shared by his decrepit uncle, Maurice. His childhood home is in disrepair due to a past fire. Philip is haunted by a horrific spider-like marionette in his possession, called "Possum", which he keeps in a leather duffel bag. Throughout his time in Norfolk, he repeatedly attempts to dispose of the puppet, but it seemingly returns to him each time, hanging on his wall, or appearing next to him in bed. He recovers a picture book about Possum that he wrote and illustrated as a young boy. The book depicts Possum's origins and describes how it creeps upon unsuspecting, orphaned children, intent on devouring them in their beds. Phillip frequently approaches a closed room in the house. Each time, Maurice asks if he plans to go in, to which he always replies no. Maurice frequently mocks Phillip during their interactions, such as mentioning the disgraceful circumstances that cost him his job and sadistically requesting that Phillip recount traumatic experiences of childhood bullying. He laments Phillip's attempts to dispose of Possum, reminding him that puppetry is something that runs in their family.

News reports begin to surface of a missing local boy, Michael, whom Phillip initially encountered on the train ride to Norfolk. Authorities indicate that a man fitting Phillip's description is a person of interest in the disappearance. He revisits his childhood school, though he is discouraged from lingering by the school's staff, and is treated with suspicion by the local residents. He is also plagued by strange visions and dreams of Possum creeping up on him in bed. Phillip continues trying unsuccessfully to dispose of Possum—abandoning it in the woods, throwing it off a bridge, breaking it and sinking it off a dock, and even burning it—to no avail. The search for Michael in the papers also causes him to remark that there was a similar case back then of a boy being assaulted by a masked man. When Phillip breaks down in tears, Maurice comforts him. As the search for Michael continues to mount, Maurice informs Phillip that he will be spending some time away and warns Phillip to not bring attention to himself, or trouble back to the house.

In a period of distress, Phillip enters the school and requests that he be allowed to speak to his old form teacher, Mr. Grant. He tells the secretary that Mr. Grant "knew all about what had happened" and promised to go to the police with him. The confused secretary has him wait outside, but Phillip overhears her speaking with the principal about calling the police and he flees. As he runs, he finds himself chased by Possum, until he is seemingly overwhelmed by it, and passes out. Awakening, he returns home to find Maurice gone, but now has horrifying visions of becoming Possum himself.

Philip enters the closed room, which is revealed to be badly charred from a house fire. As he examines curious items within, he is suddenly attacked by a masked man in the shadows. The man removes his mask and reveals he is Maurice. He lewdly taunts Phillip about the deaths of his parents in the fire, leaving him orphaned and in his care, whereupon he beat and sexually abused him throughout his childhood. He muses about how Phillip always knew Maurice was the masked man who assaulted him back then, but that he still never told anyone. As Maurice overpowers a sobbing and mentally-regressed Phillip and by beating and molesting him, Phillip hears a whimper from a locked chest in the corner. He overpowers Maurice and breaks his neck. Phillip unlocks the chest, and a terrified Michael scrambles away from inside it. Sitting outside his house, Phillip stares blankly ahead, with Possum's head in his lap.

The Scoots

A narrator opens the episode by explaining that the Halloween night depicted in the story was different from the ones that came before, and changed everyone’s lives forever.

While putting his garbage out on the sidewalk, South Park Elementary School counselor Mr. Mackey trips over an e-scooter, one of many ride share scooters left anonymously all over town. Despite their popularity, Mackey is skeptical of the trend and hopes it is only a fad, a position that escalates to anger after the vehicular collisions he experiences at the hands of scooter users. That night, he collects all the abandoned e-scooters he can find in a pickup truck and throws them off a cliff. He nonetheless finds the town filled with them the next day, even inexplicably in his home.

Fourth graders Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, and Eric Cartman decide to use the e-scooters to go trick-or-treating, but because using an e-scooter requires a cell phone, this excludes their impoverished friend, Kenny McCormick, who does not own a cell phone. Kenny learns that all of his other schoolmates are using e-scooters on Halloween too, leaving him alone on the holiday.

At a town meeting the day before Halloween, the police inform the public that the use of e-scooters, which allows riders to cover more ground in a single night, means that citizens will be visited by trick-or-treaters from surrounding towns, and will need at least $6,000 of candy to prepare for this. This leads to a panic by some of the townsfolk, and a shortage of candy.

Mackey is among those worried about Halloween night, but when a despondent Kenny tries to seek his counsel, and Mackey learns from him that cell phones are needed to use e-scooters, they join forces to resolve both of their problems. On Halloween night, citizens and the police are swamped with trick-or-treaters using e-scooters, a problem that occurs nationwide as even dense urban areas like New York City are reported to be out of candy. Mackey and Kenny drive to a cell tower and disable it. This in turn disables all of the trick-or-treaters’ cell phones and e-scooters, which they abandon upon returning to trick-or-treating on foot.

As the narrator, revealed to be Kenny, relates that this was the last, good Halloween that felt like Halloween, one of the abandoned e-scooters stands up by itself and drives off without a rider.

The Trial of the Chicago 7

In August 1968, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, David Dellinger, Lee Weiner, John Froines, and Bobby Seale make preparations to protest at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Five months later, they are arrested and charged with "crossing state lines" to incite a riot. John N. Mitchell, the Attorney General, appoints Tom Foran and Richard Schultz as the prosecutors, while all the defendants except Seale are represented by William Kunstler and Leonard Weinglass.

Judge Julius Hoffman shows significant prejudice for the prosecution, especially insisting that he and Abbie Hoffman are not related. Seale's attorney, Charles Garry, cannot attend due to illness, leading Judge Hoffman to insist that Kunstler represent him. This insistence is rejected by both Kunstler and Seale. Seale receives support from Fred Hampton which Judge Hoffman assumes is legal help. Abbie Hoffman openly antagonizes the court. Judge Hoffman removes two jurors who he suspects sympathize with the defendants due to alleged threats from the Black Panther Party and charges the defendants and their attorneys with multiple counts of contempt of court. Tension builds between the defendants.

Numerous undercover police officers and FBI agents testify. At the time of the convention, Hayden noticed two police officers tailing Davis and attempted to let the air out of their tire, but was caught and later arrested. Abbie and others led a protest to the police station where Hayden was detained but turned around upon seeing the police blockade outside. When trying to return to the park, police had taken control of the hill with orders to disperse the crowd leading to a riot between police and protesters.

Days later, the defendants learn that Fred Hampton was killed during a police raid. In retaliation for Seale continuing to speak up for his constitutional rights, Judge Hoffman has him taken to another room, beaten, and returned gagged and chained. This causes the defense and the prosecution to object, and Judge Hoffman declares Seale's case a mistrial.

The defense puts Ramsey Clark, Attorney General during the riots, on the stand. Judge Hoffman refuses to let him testify in front of the jury as he had declined to initiate prosecutions after the riots because of evidence that the Chicago Police Department instigated them. Dellinger punches a bailiff, resulting in his arrest.

Kunstler presents a tape implicating Hayden to the defendants and preps Hayden for cross-examination. On the night of the riot, Davis tried to pacify officers trying to arrest someone climbing a flagpole. After the police clubbed Davis's head, an enraged Hayden exclaimed, "If blood is going to flow, then let it flow all over the city!". The defendants were cornered by police and beaten. Abbie deduces that Hayden had misspoken, claiming the statement would have started with, "If ''our'' blood is going to flow... ." Realizing that mistake would be exploitable on the stand, Hayden asks Abbie to testify. Abbie agrees.

At the end of the trial, Hayden is given a chance by Judge Hoffman, who feels Hayden is genuinely remorseful, to make a case for a lenient sentence. However, over Judge Hoffman's objections, Hayden uses his closing remarks to name the 4,752 soldiers who were killed in the Vietnam War since the trial began. This act prompts many in the court to stand and cheer, including Schultz.

Emma (2020 film)

In Regency-era England, wealthy and beautiful Emma Woodhouse lives with her father and is often visited by Mr Knightley, a local landowner who is the brother of her sister's husband. She searches for a new companion after her governess, Miss Taylor, marries and becomes Mrs. Weston. Emma settles on Harriet Smith, a younger girl who Emma supposes is the unclaimed child of a gentleman; Harriet's parents are unknown, but her education has been provided for. Emma learns that Mr. Robert Martin, a tenant farmer of Mr. Knightley, has proposed to Harriet. Though claiming she will not interfere, Emma manipulates Harriet into declining Mr. Martin's offer of marriage, much to Harriet's distress. Emma believes that Mr. Elton, the local vicar, is in love with Harriet and encourages Harriet to transfer her hopes to him, despite Mr. Knightley's warning that she should not involve herself in the situation.

At Christmas time, Emma's older sister and Mr. Knightley's younger brother come to visit. After everyone leaves dinner with the Westons early, Emma finds herself alone in a carriage with Mr. Elton, who declares his love for her. Emma promptly refuses him, and Mr. Elton disappears for six weeks, eventually returning with a wife. Two much-talked-about relations of Highbury residents appear: Jane Fairfax, the niece of Miss Bates, and Frank Churchill, Mr. Weston's son from his first marriage. Emma grows jealous of Jane but is entranced by Frank.

Frank's arrival prompts the Westons to hold a ball, where Mr. Elton embarrasses Harriet by pointedly refusing to dance with her. She is rescued by Mr. Knightley, who asks her to dance. Emma and Mr. Knightley also dance together, awakening romantic feelings between them. Though Emma leaves before Mr. Knightley can speak to her, he runs to her home only for their meeting to be interrupted by Frank, who has rescued Harriet after being set upon by Romanichal Travellers. Harriet intimates to Emma that she has fallen in love again, leading Emma to believe Harriet is in love with Frank. Emma again vows not to interfere but manipulates circumstances so that Harriet and Frank may spend more time together.

Emma tries to spend more time with Mr. Knightley and is surprised when he repeatedly ignores her. On a picnic with their entire party of social acquaintances, Frank urges them to play a game to amuse Emma, who unthinkingly insults Miss Bates, leading the party to disband in discomfort. Mr. Knightley rebukes Emma for her behaviour, and a humiliated Emma apologizes to Miss Bates, who accepts her apology without question.

Frank Churchill's wealthy aunt dies, and he is no longer required to be at her beck and call. The Westons reveal he was secretly engaged to Jane Fairfax and waiting for his aunt, who opposed the match, to die. The Westons had hoped he would marry Emma, but Emma is only distressed on account of Harriet. Emma breaks the news to Harriet, who reveals that she is actually in love with Mr. Knightley. Harriet realizes that Emma herself is in love with Mr. Knightley.

Mr. Knightley goes to Emma to comfort her about the news of Frank and Jane being engaged, and reveals that he is in love with her and hopes to marry her. Initially pleased with his marriage offer, Emma develops a nosebleed when she realizes how upset Harriet will be, and she runs off leaving behind a very confused but hopeful Mr. Knightley. She goes to Mr. Martin to make amends, offering him a portrait of Harriet she drew herself. Harriet tells Emma she has accepted Mr. Martin's offer of marriage and that her father has revealed himself now that she is of age; he is not a gentleman, but a tradesman who makes galoshes. Emma congratulates Harriet and invites her and her father to her home once he is in Highbury.

Though Emma and Mr. Knightley are very much in love, Emma is distressed at the thought of leaving her father alone. To accommodate her wishes, Mr. Knightley suggests that he join them at Hartfield rather than have Emma quit her father's home. Emma happily agrees, and the two are married.

Resistance (2020 film)

The film opens in Munich, Nazi Germany. It is 1938 and Nazi Brown Shirts invade the home of a young Jewish girl, Elsbeth, and kill her parents.

The film continues in Strasbourg, France (near the German border), where Marcel Marceau works unfulfilled in his father's butcher shop, disconnected from Nazi atrocities and eager for the arts, especially mime and painting. During 1939, as Nazi power consolidates and World War II approaches, Marceau performs a cabaret impression of Charlie Chaplin, using the narrow moustache also favoured by Adolf Hitler. Visual similarities between Chaplin and Hitler frequent the film. Marceau's passion for theatre strengthens further after discovering his father secretly performs opera.

While Marcel's cousin, Georges, involves himself with a Jewish arm of the French Resistance, Marcel and Emma fall in love. Marcel's father, who had fled Poland years earlier, supports his son and Emma joining the anti-Nazi resistance. It is a decision that defines Marceau's wartime experiences and brings tragic consequences for Marceau's father: arrested in 1944 he dies in Auschwitz during 1945.

A Scout troop which Emma and Georges lead rescues 123 Jewish children whose parents were killed by Nazis. Marceau's mime skills improve as he helps entertain the orphans in a nearby castle. Bonds with Emma also strengthen. After Germany invades Poland in autumn 1939 their involvement deepens with the French Resistance. Adults distribute the Jewish children into smaller groups to minimise their visibility, some to local churches and others to Jewish families. Marcel and Emma maintain contact with Elsbeth.

After 1941 Marceau's story intertwines with the menacing Klaus Barbie, who is seen beating to death a Nazi homosexual in Berlin. Barbie portrays the murder as Aryan purification. Barbie arrives in Lyon in 1942 during the Nazi occupation of southern France. His aim is eliminating the French resistance. Barbie operates by bribing collaborators and brutal executions in an empty swimming pool at Gestapo Headquarters. Later, Barbie gains notoriety as "The Butcher of Lyon".

Marcel and Emma also move to Lyon, with Alain, who narrowly evades capture during a Nazi sweep of Lyon's train station. Marcel helps Alain escape by burning a German soldier. Emma and Mila, her sister, are less fortunate. Captured during another Gestapo roundup, Barbie tortures Mila to death while extracting information from Emma about the resistance. Emma survives by collaboration but later attempts suicide-by-train. Marceau saves her and they resolve to help Jewish children escape to Switzerland.

Pretending their Scout troop is hiking, Marcel and Emma, accompanied by Alain plus a dozen children including Elsbeth, travel by SNCF train to the French Alps. Barbie and SS troops patrol the last train station before the Franco-Swiss border, forcing the petrified Emma into hiding as they search the train. Barbie fails to discover Emma or the children's true ambition to reach Switzerland. Marcel and Emma continue their journey towards Switzerland with the children.

Barbie's SS meanwhile learn from a tortured priest the children are escaping Jews. Barbie, angry at his mistake, mobilises SS troops to pursue Marceau and the children into the icy forests of the Swiss border. Barbie gets close enough to discharge his handgun, mortally wounding Emma, but cannot prevent their escape. Marcel is devastated at Emma's death but comforted the children reach Switzerland.

The film closes in 1945 at Nuremberg, Germany. Marceau is now a Liaison Officer with the United States Army, also an actor, entertaining troops of the American occupation of Germany. Introduced by General George S. Patton, troops learn that Marceau crossed the Alps many times to save hundreds of children, mostly orphans, and indirectly saved thousands more children. Patton lauds an "incredible story... of one of those unique human beings that makes your sacrifices and your heroism completely worth it." The film closes with an evocative mime by Marceau in his famous white face and blue and white shirt.

A Low Life Mythology

Mana Avaris is a foreign art student from an obscure country who lives in Berlin, Germany. According to her own testimony in the film, she's attending the school solely for the purpose of obtaining a visa. At a house party in Kreuzberg, Mana runs into Asten, a young dreamy man. The story of their relationship unfolds throughout the film.

Within the film are the art works supposedly made by Mana, Asten and their social circle. They are mostly essay films but some were materialized as real performances to an unsuspecting audience, such as the full-nudity monologue by Shirley Rosenthal which was recorded live at the Barbie Deinhoff queer bar, a known establishment in Berlin.

The film deals with an imaginary world based in narrative deconstruction, in the deformation and experimentation of the figure, in the image that overflows its materiality to break down, revive and divide itself. Many historical references dealing with foreignness and multiculturalism appear in the film, in characters' names (Avaris being the capital of the Hyksos in Egypt) and the films the characters present each other, such as Nabonidus and Cyrus and the destruction of the Library of Alexandria. The writing credits were attributed to Pierre Menard, a fictional character from a short story by Jorge Luis Borges

Sofie & Cecilia

In 1901 Sofie Olsson and her husband Nils, along with their children, travel to visit Lars Vogt and his wife Cecilia. Though Nils and Lars are artist colleagues and friends, Sofie and Cecilia barely know each other. Sofie admires Cecilia, but after sending her a thank you letter for the visit Sofie comes to believe that Cecilia does not want her friendship.

### Sofie

Sofie is born Sofie Falkner and in 1882 leaves her small village to attend the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts. Like the other female students she is segregated from the male students and is not allowed to draw nudes. Sofie and the other female students settle on drawing scenes drawn from their domestic life and while Sofie does not distinguish herself at school she continues to paint after graduation. Post-graduation Sofie meets Nils Olsson and while studying in France the two fall in love and decide to marry. Nils has regressive and sexist attitudes towards women painters which Sofie ignores, eventually accepting that she needs to give up drawing and painting once she marries Nils. She settles into domestic life and mostly defers to Nils, channelling her creativity into raising their children and decorating their home. The Olsson home becomes famous for being an example of Swedish craftsmanship and after Sophia Magdalena of Denmark visits her home, Sofie finds herself renewing her friendship with Cecilia, with the two becoming much better acquainted.

Sofie's artwork, particular her weaving, manages to attract attention over the years. Cecilia suggests she market her designs, and a Scottish artist of the applied arts, MacDonald Lawrie, is interested in exhibiting her work. Despite not having explicit instructions from Nils to do so, Sofie declines all offers to expand her work and take it public. Sofie also becomes increasingly dissatisfied with her marriage as she hears rumours that Nils has fathered children with other women and she continues to grieve the loss of her painting. Sofie and Mr. Lawrie keep up their friendship with Lawrie eventually confessing his love for her in 1914. Sofie gently rebuffs him despite no longer being in love with Nils.

In 1915 Sofie's eldest son, Markus, dies from an infection after having his appendix removed. The one time that Sofie drew during her marriage was when she was suffering from postpartum depression after Markus was born. When he is dead she once again draws him as she remembers him. Through Markus's death she also meets Dora Helmersen, a photographer who photographs the dead. As Markus was interested in photography prior to his death Sofie tries to learn a little about photography through Dora, eventually seeing the experimental work she has done. Though Sofie does not always admire Dora's work she does realize she is an artist.

### Cecilia

Cecilia is born into a wealthy Jewish family of textile manufacturers. She meets Lars Vogt when he is painting a portrait of her nephew and she is assigned to calm her nephew and keep him still.

To get her family to agree to the marriage Lars and Cecilia agree to a secret engagement of at most five years until Lars can establish himself as a successful artist but he manages to secure his fortune in four and the couple are wed and move to France. While there Cecilia assumes they are happy, but is shocked when she discovers a condom despite the fact that the couple are trying to conceive. Lars openly admits to having an affair and Cecilia decides to forgive him.

By 1899 Lars has become so successful the Vogts decide to move back to Sweden. By this time Cecilia has grown accustomed to Lars's many affairs, but she holds out hope that they will be able to have children. When she returns the Olsson's visit in 1901 she is pregnant with a child but on the train ride home she has a miscarriage.

Lars grows more and more successful, going to America where he makes enough money that the Vogt's become very rich and are able to be patrons of the small village where Lars was raised with Cecilia helping to run the orphanage and a school that teaches adult literacy and craftsmanship. Cecilia continues to tolerate Lars's affairs with models, but when he sleeps with one of Cecilia's maids she is furious, especially when she confronts him and realizes he is bored. From then on she sleeps with him only as a means to get pregnant, and when she reaches menopause their sex life ceases altogether.

Cecilia and Lars decide to turn their home into a museum after their deaths and hire a recent university graduate, Lisbeth Gregorius to help them undertake the project. Cecilia is charmed by her as she is completely indifferent to Lars's attempts to seduce her. The two grow very friendly and in 1916 they begin a sexual affair.

In 1924 Nils abruptly dies shortly after completing his memoirs. Sofie's children try to block publication due to several unsavoury themes, but to their surprise Sofie does not want the book censored and is only angered by the book because it makes no mention of the fact that she was a painter and that she was also responsible for much of the design work in their house. She privately returns to painting.

Lars falls out of critical favour as a painter though he remains more financially successful than ever. In 1931 he suffers from a stroke and Cecilia is led to believe he will die quickly. Contrary to the doctor's opinion Lars clings to life though now he is wholly dependent on Cecilia and the servants leading her to think of him as the child she never had.

By 1933 Cecilia is growing concerned with the rise in anti-semitism while Lisbeth, who is still her lover, is unconcerned and thinks she is being too reactionary. At a local festival presented by Cecilia, Sofie accidentally sees them almost kissing and begins to suspect what members of her family have been aware of for some time: Cecilia and Lisbeth are lovers.

In 1934 MacDonald Lawrie returns to Askebo, Sofie's village, and proposes marriage. Sofie accepts but quickly realizes she does not want to live in Scotland and breaks the brief engagement. As the years go by Sofie and Cecilia draw closer together, both more openly talking about their difficulties in being married to promiscuous men and about their passion for their work.

Sofie reveals her paintings to her family and then finally to Cecilia who suggests that she move from the watercolours that were Nils's domain into oil paints. Sofie takes up her suggestion and shortly after receives a call from Lisbeth who informs her that Cecilia has died after a long illness which she kept hidden.

Sofie attends Cecilia's funeral where she is buried in a churchyard after her family gives her a private Jewish ceremony. Returning home Sofie returns to painting.

Deltarune

''Deltarune'' s narrative spans seven chapters, of which two have been released with five more being planned for a later release. Although it features some characters and elements from ''Undertale'', it takes place in a different setting.

### Chapter 1 – The Beginning

The game begins with the player being prompted to create and name an avatar, but the "vessel" is ultimately discarded, as "no one can choose who they are in this world". Instead, the player is given control of the human teenager Kris, who arrives late to school one morning. After being paired up with the delinquent monster Susie for an upcoming group project, their teacher, Alphys, sends the two to get chalk from the supply closet. However, the closet pulls them into a strange realm—the Dark World—where they meet the dark prince Ralsei. He tells them that the three are heroes destined to close the geyser-like Dark Fountains giving form to the Dark Worlds in order to bring balance to the world. One such Dark Fountain has appeared in the east of the Dark World, which is guarded by King. Susie, uninterested in Ralsei's affairs, initially joins King's young son Lancer in trying to stop Kris and Ralsei through various ill-thought-out plans, but both are convinced to change sides and join the party.

Lancer refuses to confront his father and does not want Susie and King to hurt each other, so he imprisons his new friends in King's castle's dungeon. Susie helps Kris and Ralsei escape and vengefully fights Lancer, but ultimately reconciles with him and promises not to hurt King. Kris, Susie, and Ralsei confront and battle King, after which he falls over in exhaustion. Ralsei heals him out of pity, which King exploits by incapacitating and preparing to kill the group. If the player has not violently subdued any prior enemies, Lancer leads the Dark World's inhabitants in overthrowing and imprisoning King; otherwise, King gets put to sleep by Ralsei's pacification spell. After battling King, Kris closes the Dark Fountain, revealing that Dark Worlds are ordinary rooms transformed, and returns home together with Susie. That night, however, Kris rises from their bed and rips out their heart-shaped soul, throwing it into a bird cage, and draws a knife.

During the ending cutscene, the player is able to move the soul in the cage with the arrow keys- this, combined with various characters mentioning that Kris is acting strangely, implies that the player's control of Kris is, in some way, canonical, and that the player is controlling Kris via their heart-shaped soul.

### Chapter 2 – A Cyber's World

The next day, Kris and Susie return to the Dark World to confirm it was real. When they reunite with Ralsei, however, he urges the two to leave and go work on their school project with their classmates Noelle (who is Kris's neighbor and childhood friend) and Berdly. Kris and Susie head to the library's computer lab, but end up entering a new, technology-themed Dark World ruled by the robot, Queen. She kidnaps Noelle, who was sucked into the Dark World along with Berdly, aiming to make her and all other Lightners happy by using her inherent determination to create many new Dark Fountains. Berdly, out of admiration for both Noelle and Queen, helps the latter with her plans.

The group is separated and Kris helps Noelle evade Queen, but she finds them and imprisons everyone. Kris and Susie escape with Lancer's aid, but he soon turns to stone as he is in the wrong Dark World. They convince Berdly to change sides, but he is intercepted and captured by Queen, who forces the party into a fight. After Berdly is freed, Queen flees the area. She delivers a soliloquy about the nature of Dark Fountains, revealing that any Lightner can open one through the use of Determination. She attacks with her giant robot suit, leading to a final battle reminiscent of ''Punch-Out!!''. Queen manages to defeat the group and threatens to kill them if Noelle doesn't follow her plans, but Noelle snaps at Queen and tells her she's done being controlled. Realizing the error of her ways, Queen tells Noelle to create the world she wants before Queen's robot runs out of power. Berdly then attempts to create another Fountain, but Ralsei warns him and the rest of "The Roaring"—a cataclysmic event caused by the opening of too many Fountains. Queen overhears this and abandons her plans, not wanting to destroy the world. Noelle thanks Susie for rescuing her, wanting to form a relationship. Kris and Susie then close the new Dark Fountain, and Kris relocates Queen and her followers to Castle Town.

Kris and Susie awaken in the computer lab with Noelle and Berdly, who are convinced that their adventure was a dream. Susie walks Kris back home and is invited in by Kris's mother Toriel. In the bathroom, Kris tears out their soul again and climbs out a window. After Kris returns and puts their soul back in their body, Toriel discovers that her car's tires have been slashed, calls the police, and suggests that Susie spend the night. After everyone has fallen asleep, though, Kris rips out their soul once more, opens the front door slightly, turns on the living room TV, and uses their knife to open what appears to be a Dark Fountain in the living room before returning to the couch. The screen fades to black, and a smile appears on the static of the TV screen.

#### SnowGrave Route

If the player obtains certain items and forces Noelle to kill all enemies with ice magic, an alternate story route (commonly referred to as the "Weird", "SnowGrave", "Genocide", or "Pipis" route) occurs. The player emotionally manipulates Noelle, forcing her to solve puzzles by herself. The player makes a deal with the disgraced spambot Spamton to make Noelle stronger, and she is eventually forced to freeze Berdly solid with the SnowGrave spell after he confronts the duo. She then leaves Kris, shaken by her own actions. Instead of Queen capturing the group, her castle is taken over by Spamton. Noelle is too exhausted to participate in Queen's plans, and Ralsei informs the latter of the Roaring preemptively, avoiding her battle. Kris then goes to seal the Fountain, but is stopped by the newly-upgraded Spamton NEO, who intends to keep it open and fights Kris one-on-one. The player calls for help; Susie and Ralsei do not respond, causing Spamton NEO to scold the player for thinking they’d help after all they did, but Noelle arrives, and freezes Spamton. In the light world, Berdly is found unresponsive in the computer lab, and Noelle begins to question the nature of her "nightmare".

The Kiss Barrier

As described in a film magazine review, during the war, aviator Richard March downs one German airplane but another one gets his machine. Ambulance driver Marion Weston sees the aircraft fall and, driving to the crash site, finds March is unhurt. While heading back to their lines, March kisses Marion and she is indignant, although he apologizes. After the war ends, March returns to the United States and resumes his profession of acting. Colonel Hale, a war friend, invites March to a skating party where he once again sees Marion, but she snubs him. Later, Connie Hale comes to March's apartment, and he succeeds in getting Marion to soften her attitude toward him. She misunderstands a situation between his leading lady Suzette and him, causing her to again turn against him. This attitude continues until March gives a play based upon his war experiences in France, and this convinces Marion that she misjudged him. Connie, jealous, goes to March and attempts to compromise herself. She makes a scene, and her father denounces March, who keeps silent to protect Connie's reputation, and she confesses the truth. In the meantime, Marion realizes that she loves March and, even thinking that he has disgraced himself, tells him that she wants to go away with him and be his wife.

The Contraband Cow

Biochemist Homer Osborn of the San Antonio branch of the Federal Research Laboratories has been working on a formula for synthetic beef. While not as good as actual beef, it may prove lucrative for his employer, as beef consumption has been prohibited by the Assembly of the Federation of Democratic and Libertarian States, which includes both the U.S. and India. As representation in the assembly is by population, the cow protectionist Indian majority forced through an anti-vaccacide law and made it mandatory on all member states.

The law prohibits "the eating of cattle, which term shall include all animals of the subfamily ''Bovinae'' of the family ''Bovidae'', the same comprising kine, buffaloes, bison, zebus, gayals, bantengs, yaks, and species closely related thereto, or any parts of members thereof," as well as "the killing, for any purpose whatever, and the assault, molestation, capture, imprisonment, sale, purchase, possession, transportation, importation into or exportation out of the Federation of Democratic and Libertarian States, or any territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof, for purpose of eating, of cattle." There has been much resistance to this new version of prohibition in the U.S., and "steaklegging," controlled by Mexican cattle kings, is rampant.

Osborn's department head Charles Kenny decides to treat him to the real thing for comparative purposes, so under the pretense of fishing, the two row out into the wetlands along the lower Nueces River with a package of contraband steaks, weighted for quick disposal. After they set up their campfire Osborn starts cooking the meat while Kenny goes for firewood. While the latter is away, the law arrives in the form of Guja Singh, a towering Sikh of the Fodals or Border Patrol, who arrests Osborn and escorts him toward his patrol car. Guja is the son of prominent Indian politician Arjan Singh.

The bust is in turn busted, however, when both captor and captive are ambushed and abducted by cattle-runners. Osborn soon realizes these are no local steakleggers, but agents of one of the Big Three Mexican cattle kings who control much of the illicit beef traffic into the U.S. Sure enough, Osborn and Singh are taken to the secret compound of Harmodio Dualler, one of the three, in Mexico's Bolsóm de Mapimí. There they meet the "critter king," who sees in Osborn's work potential competition. Dismissing protestations that the labs' synthetic protein cannot possibly compete with real beef, Dualler demands of him all his samples, notes and writings, on pain of death. The Sikh he is initially unsure what to do with, deeming it dangerous to either kill, keep or release him.

The prisoners are incarcerated until nightfall, when they are brought out to eat with their captors. As the meal consists of steak, Guja protests it is against his beliefs to eat it, until assured it is some of Osborn's synthetic beef. Osborn, however, realizes it's too good to be synthetic, and after they eat lets Guja know the steakleggers have fooled him. Guja tries to fight but quickly despairs and gives up, convinced he is ruined. Dualler informs him it's a ploy to ensure he won't make trouble after his release; the meal has been filmed for purposes of blackmail.

Later, back in their cells, Guja passes Osborn a pistol he had concealed in his turban, which the steakleggers didn't think to search. Having heard their captors plotting to kill Osborn after obtaining his secrets, lest he later replicate his work, the Sikh feels one of them should have a chance. For his own part, he attempts to hang himself, but is caught and prevented.

The next day Osborn is taken to Dualler's communication room, where the latter has him make a television call to Charley Kenny's office to have his work delivered to the cartel. But once the connection is made, Osborn presses Guja's pistol into his captor's ribs and orders the Sikh brought in. He apprises Kenny of the situation and directs him to switch the call to Arjan Singh in Delhi. Once Guja is present, Osborn ascertains from him the number of votes his father controls in the Assembly, and confirms it is enough to secure the repeal of the anti-vaccacide law currently before that body. Then he forces Dualler to demand Arjan Singh swing the debate in return for Guja's life. Conscious of their family honor, neither Arjan nor Guja buckles to the threat—until the blackmail film is brought up. Arjan breaks down and agrees.

Realizing his enterprise is doomed if the anti-vaccacide law is repealed, Dualler suddenly grapples with Osborn, who, unable to shoot, flips his pistol to Guja. Guja dispatches Dualler and the two prisoners start a fire in the communications room, after which they burst out, proclaiming the communications apparatus has exploded and injured the critter king. In the ensuing confusion Osborn and Guja sneak from the compound, steal a truck, and make their escape.

Later they arrive at the labs in San Antonio, where Kenny informs them the repeal act has passed. The bewildered Guja Singh finds himself a hero due to his father's pivotal role in the vote, while Osborn, now that there is no need for his synthetic beef, prepares to shake the dust of San Antonio from his feet and return to his native Brooklyn.

Japan Organized Crime Boss

The Danno Organization, Japan's largest yakuza clan, expands outward from its base in Osaka during the post-war period under the leadership of Boss Danno and Chief Executive Tsubaki, the family's ruthless captain. In Yokohama, the boss of the Hamanaka Family pledges fealty to the Danno Organization. In order to block Boss Danno's progress, the yakuza families of Tokyo form the Tokyo Alliance, appointing Boss Yato as chairman. The Alliance uses the Sakurada Family, the dominant family in Yokohama, to attack the Hamanaka Family in a proxy war between their forces and those of the Danno Organization.

Hamanaka's right-hand man, Tetsuo Tsukamoto, is released after spending eight years in prison and learns that his wife committed suicide. Shortly thereafter, the boss of the Hamanaka family is killed by explosives thrown by hitmen from the Sakurada Family. With his dying breath, he passes control of the gang to Tsukamoto, urging him to reject the Danno Organization and fight to keep them out of Yokohama. A funeral is organized, with both Chairman Yato and Boss Danno visiting to pay their respects. Kamiyama, the retired boss of the Hamanaka, offers to help Tsukamoto as an unofficial advisor.

Tsukamoto wishes to call a truce with the Sakurada Family and end his family's oath to Boss Danno, but decides to kill Boss Sakurada in order to appease his men's desire for vengeance. A senior Hamanaka officer, Kazama, is unwilling to let Tsukamoto return to jail after just getting out, so he murders Boss Sakurada himself, returning home mortally wounded and dying from his injuries. Tsubaki tries to convince Tsukamoto to remain with the Danno Organization and Danno himself warns Tsukamoto that he could wind up "dead in the gutter" for opposing him. Meanwhile, Kazama's sister is left with no one to care for her, so Tsukamoto tells her she can ask anything of him.

The Hokuryu Kai, a gang led by the drug-addicted Miyahara, is expelled from the Tokyo Alliance for showing disrespect and violating the yakuza code. Tsubaki convinces them to swear loyalty to Boss Danno and sends them against the Sakurada Family, resulting in many Sakurada members getting killed and a Hamanaka man, Taki, being taken hostage by the Hokuryu when he tries to intervene in a fight at a local nightclub. Tsukamoto is ordered to come alone if he wants to save him. Tsukamoto arrives at the club and discovers Kazama's sister working as a singer. In a back room, he finds a badly beaten Taki being held by Miyahara and his men. Miyahara punches Tsukamoto and slashes him with a knife, but Tsukamoto refuses to fight back. Miyahara, not wanting to antagonize the entire Hamanaka Family, allows him to leave with Taki. Kazama's sister quits her job and nurses Tsukamoto back to health. They begin a relationship after realizing that they both have feelings for each other.

Chairman Yato uses Ooba, a former boss with a grudge against the Danno Organization for wiping out his family and leaving him with only one arm in a confrontation the previous year, to carry out an attack on Boss Danno. Ooba finds Danno coming out of a meeting with political kingpin Kita Bokudo and shoots him in the shoulder before taking a bullet to the chest. An American tourist behind him is also struck by gunfire. Ooba flees and is rescued by the Hamanaka Family, but Tsubaki soon finds him after seeing his wife enter the family offices. Ooba and his wife try to leave in secret, but are intercepted by Danno Organization men. Ooba is shot dead, and his wife is gunned down when she goes after his killers.

When the American tourist dies from her wound, Bokudo tells Boss Danno that, to protect his family, he must reconcile with the Tokyo Alliance and support the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty. The Tokyo Alliance agrees to the truce, but only if Danno forces the Hokuryu Kai out of Yokohama. Miyahara refuses to leave, so Danno severs all ties with him. Miyahara tells his men to leave the city until he can swear loyalty to Tsukamoto. Members of the Tokyo Alliance ambush Miyahara and kill him; Tsukamoto is arrested by the police before he can help Miyahara, allowing the Danno Organization to launch a surprise attack that leaves the Hamanaka Family decimated. The police berate Tsukamoto for his actions, blaming him for countless deaths, but ultimately release him from custody. Kazama's sister begs Tsukamoto not to retaliate and accuses him of putting the gang before her, just like her brother. Tsukamoto refuses to listen and decides to take revenge himself.

Tsubaki, disgusted by his boss' decision to reconcile with the Tokyo Alliance, notices Tsukamoto approaching the site of the ceremony and deliberately lets the boss stab him so he doesn't have to take the blame for not protecting Danno. Armed with sharp blades, Tsukamoto kills Boss Danno and Chairman Yato, while letting Bokudo live. A yakuza shoots him, and he bleeds to death, having upheld his family's honor.

Annabelle Comes Home

Demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren confiscate the Annabelle doll from nurses Debbie and Camilla, who claimed that the doll often performed violent activities in their apartment. During the drive back home, the doll summons spirits to attack Ed, but he narrowly survives. Annabelle is locked in a sacred glass case in the couple's artifacts room that is blessed by Father Gordon to ensure the evil is contained.

Sometime later, the Warrens welcome Mary Ellen, who will be in charge of babysitting their daughter, Judy, at the house while they travel overnight to investigate another case. At school, Judy notices the spirit of a priest that begins following her. Mary Ellen's friend, Daniela, arrives uninvited to the Warrens' home, who is secretly curious about speaking to the dead. She sneaks into the artifacts room and starts examining every item, ultimately trying to contact her late father. She abruptly leaves Annabelle's glass case unlocked, and the terror begins shortly afterwards with the spirit of Annabelle "Bee" Mullins unleashed. That night, Annabelle begins releasing other spirits, such as the Ferryman, the Bride, a Feeley Meeley board game, and the Black Shuck.

Mary Ellen's crush, Bob Palmeri, arrives outside the house and serenades her, but is later attacked by the Black Shuck and hides in the Warrens' backyard. Mary Ellen is tormented by the Ferryman, while Judy is confronted by Annabelle in her bedroom. Daniela had left earlier but sneaks back into the house to return the artifacts room's keys. She gets locked inside the room and tormented by various objects, such as a piano and an old television that can predict the near future. She finds the Mourner's Bracelet and sees her father twisted into a malevolent spirit. A bloody and screaming Daniela appears on the television screen after having answered a cursed telephone. The real Daniela later unwittingly reaches to answer the telephone but is interrupted just in time by Judy and Mary Ellen.

Judy explains that they must lock Annabelle in her case again so that the other spirits will rest. Bob protects Judy from the Black Shuck as she retrieves Mary Ellen's asthma inhaler, while Daniela is attacked and possessed by the Bride. Eventually, Mary Ellen and Judy find the doll when the priest's spirit, acting as Judy's guardian, guides them to the Ferryman. They manage to retrieve the glass case's key after they are attacked by demonic hands from the Feeley Meeley board game, and a possessed Daniela, but struggle to secure the case as the demon of the doll physically attacks them.

Murder on Dante Street

Shortly after the end of World War II, in a small French town of Ciboure, a policeman, responding to a report of the sound of gunfire, finds a woman with three gunshot wounds in house 26 on Dante Street. The victim turns out to be the famous actress Madeleine Thibault; in the hospital, she regains consciousness and tells her story to the investigator.

In 1940, as German troops approach Paris, Madeleine Thibault, her manager, Greene, and her son Charles escape to the south, to Ciboure, where her former husband Philip, Charles' father, lives. On the way, they run out of gas. Charles leaves in search of gas and does not return. It later transpires that he is arrested by swiftly advancing Germans, and three weeks later he is released as a convinced fascist.

When Thibault reaches Ciboure, the Germans are already there. After slapping a German officer, Madeleine is forced to go into hiding in her father Hyppolite's house along with fellow villager Jourdan, who hit a German officer and killed a young Frenchman who joined the ranks of the fascists. Charles comes to visit the house and discovers Jourdan. Later that day the house is raided by German officials. Jourdan is not found, but a shadow of suspicion falls on Charles.

Madeleine agrees to act in a play in front of the Germans, during which her heroine kills her former lover. During the performance, which is attended by Charles, Madeleine shoots and kills the local “Fuhrer” who is in the audience. With the help of a costume designer at the theatre, she and Greene manage to escape; however, a little later, Greene is mortally wounded on the street and tells Madeleine that Charles was among the three who attacked him.

The costume designer's son initiates Madeleine into the Resistance Movement. After the end of the war, she arrives in Ciboure and learns that the Germans hung Philip before leaving the city: he also participated in the Resistance. Charles arrives with a group of friends and Madeleine recognizes one of the German officers who was looking for Jourdan in their village house. Madeleine accuses Charles of reporting his father. While he assures her that he had no part in his father's arrest and execution, he refuses to go with her to the police. Fearing exposure, he threatens her with a revolver but is unable to kill her. In the conflict, one of his friends shoots her instead.

Charles and his friends are arrested; the investigator, who recorded the testimony of Madeleine Thibault, comes to their cell to release them, revealing that he worked with the Germans during the war and continues to sympathize with them.

Madeleine Thibault dies from her wounds. Ten years pass, Charles arrives in Ciboure, and in the restaurant, he is recognized by the costume designer's son, who knows nothing about his past. His mother's friend Charles reports that Madeleine Thibault's murderers have not yet been found.

Waking Titan

Season One of Waking Titan was divided into three phases.

During Phase One, wakingtitan.com hosted six triangles in the middle of the page. These triangles were referred to as "Sigils", while the white icons along the bottom of the page were referred to as "Glyphs". Each sigil and glyph, when clicked, lead to a password entry prompt - the correct passwords for all six sigils and the first five glyphs were discovered via puzzle-solving during Phase One of Waking Titan.

The sigil and glyph puzzles were solved collaboratively - while it may have been possible to solve some of these puzzles individually, most of them required a collaborative effort. Some puzzles required players to meet agents from the Atlas Corporation in person, and to relay information obtained from these meetings back to the community. This phase culminated on July 8, 2017, with a congratulatory message from Elizabeth Leighton, the CEO of the Atlas Foundation.

During Phase Two, wakingtitan.com hosted a command-line interface terminal. Various commands were accepted as input, which triggered different events. These commands hinted to the introduction of a fourth race to No Man's Sky.

Additionally, project-wt.com hosted a "Calibration" utility during Phase Two. To successfully perform these calibrations, players had to upload images of various objects and buildings to the site. For instance, the first calibration required images of "public resonant percussion instruments".

Finally, towards the end of Phase Two, a Waking Titan Twitch stream went live, displaying a five-monitor setup. Throughout the duration of the stream, players had to work together to solve puzzles that were displayed on these monitors. Some of these puzzles were interactive; for example, one puzzle that was repeated several times involved the Twitch chat guiding a virtual hamster through a maze. Players solved another three glyphs throughout Phase Two.

Phase Three consisted of the conclusion of the Twitch stream that began at the end of Phase Two. Players solved more interactive puzzles on the Twitch stream, before the rogue AI Loop16 asked them a final question: "Should I exist?" The overwhelming response from the community was "yes".

After receiving this response, Loop16 and Emily of the ETARC forums were revealed as being one and the same. Loop16 generated a heartfelt "Thank You" video to round out the stream, before finally taking the 72-hour stream offline.

Shortly after this, players received emails with the subject line "Waking Titan has Ended." On August 11, 2017, the Atlas Rises update was released for No Man's Sky.

In January 2018, PC Gamer reported that some players had received "Atlas Passes" (a physical membership card referencing an item found in No Man's Sky) which were "promised in an earlier stage of the ARG."

On March 26, 2018, a second season of Waking Titan began to promote No Man's Sky's NEXT update.

Warning Shot (2018 film)

Single mother Audrey (Tammy Blanchard) and her young daughter Cheyenne (Onata Aprile) attend the funeral of Audrey's grandfather. Struggling to make ends meet as a waitress, Audrey considers moving into her grandfather's old farmhouse if it is left to her in his will.

Meanwhile, Bobby (David Spade), the principal of a powerful water company, unaware Audrey's grandfather has died, hires Rainy (Guillermo Díaz) and Jawari (Dwight Henry) to intimidate him into signing over the valuable water rights to a large creek on his property.

Bobby tries to assure his grandfather Calvin (Bruce Dern) that he is capable of running the family business, but Calvin degrades him. Sickly and nearing the end of his life, Calvin has lost interest in business affairs, instead spending his remaining moments reminiscing about his past struggles and pondering regrets.

At the farmhouse, Rainy and Jawari confront Audrey and Cheyenne, who are merely visiting in anticipation of possible future ownership. Unsure what to do, Rainy and Jawari decide to hold them hostage until Bobby arrives with legal documents to transfer ownership of the water rights.

While Jawari is an amiable local drug dealer, Rainy exhibits sadistic tendencies, incessantly provoking reactions from Audrey, Cheyenne, and even Jawari. At first Audrey goes along, hoping she and Cheyenne will eventually be set free. It soon becomes clear, however, that Rainy intends to escalate the situation. He forces Audrey to choose between herself and Cheyenne, but Audrey's protective instincts cause her to quickly offer herself in Cheyenne's place, a characteristic that increasingly aggravates Rainy.

Audrey gets a brief reprieve when a door to door proselytizer named David (Frank Whaley) arrives and draws Rainy's fixation. Now with three hostages and the situation destabilizing, Audrey tries to delay in any way she can, whether by appealing to Jawari or divulging intimate details of her life to Rainy.

Rainy continues to single out individuals and provoke them, eventually murdering Jawari to prevent his interference. With Audrey too quick to sacrifice herself for Cheyenne, Rainy attempts to force David to make a life or death decision, convinced his religious convictions are false and he would never sacrifice himself for strangers. Rainy is frustrated in this endeavor as well when David, moved by Audrey's selflessness, finds the inner strength to choose himself to be shot instead of Audrey or Cheyenne.

When Cheyenne grabs Jawari's gun, Audrey is left with no alternative but to attack Rainy. In the ensuing struggle, David gets Jawari's gun. By the time Bobby arrives the entire situation is completely out of control. He attempts to resolve the circumstances only to have Audrey, perhaps pushed beyond her coping ability, violently retaliate.

At the reading of the will, Audrey learns her grandfather's water rights have already gone into forfeiture, thus negating the entire purpose for the extortion plot and rendering all the violence following from it unnecessary. The film ends with a stunned Audrey lamenting, “All they had to do was ask.”

In Fabric

Sheila is a recently divorced bank teller who lives with her teenage son Vince. She gets frequently chastised for insignificant work errors by her bosses and intimidated by Vince's girlfriend Gwen. She visits department store Dentley and Soper's to buy a dress in the sales for a date. Assisted by enigmatic store clerk Miss Luckmoore, Sheila is drawn to a beautiful, flowing red dress, which Luckmoore convinces her to purchase. Sheila notices a strange rash on her chest after wearing the dress. Her washing machine later breaks down when trying to wash it, resulting in Sheila injuring her hand. At night, the store clerks are shown cleaning a lifelike mannequin, which appears to menstruate, as the elderly proprietor Mr Lundy observes and masturbates.

When returning to shop at the store, Sheila learns that there is only one version of the dress and that the store model was killed after wearing it for the store catalogue. Sheila goes on a date with new suitor Zach while Gwen and Vince have sex. As Gwen climaxes, the dress floats above her and tries to suffocate her. When Sheila and Zach go for a walk together, she is attacked by a German Shepherd, which cuts her leg and rips the dress in the process. Later that day, Vince returns home with the dress, somehow fully repaired. After hearing the dress move about in the wardrobe at night, an unsettled Sheila attempts to return the dress to the store but is refused. With the dress in her trunk, Sheila is killed in a car accident en route to spending the night with Zach.

The dress comes into the possession of washing machine repairman Reg Speaks, who is made by his friends to wear it on his stag night. His fiancée Babs takes a liking to the dress and wears it to shop at Dentley and Soper's. Luckmoore rebukes Babs for shopping near closing time but is convinced by Lundy to let her stay. Meanwhile, at home, Reg gets hypnotised by the department store's TV advertisement and dies from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by his boiler. Babs recounts to Luckmoore a disturbing dream in which she becomes the model for the store catalogue but gets thinner and ends up being buried in the store. Babs goes into the fitting room while a fight between patrons breaks out in the store and quickly spirals into looting.

The dress catches fire and the flames spread quickly around the store. Babs burns to death in her changing room, while Luckmoore flees down into the dumbwaiter with a dismembered mannequin. As she descends deeper into the store, she sees the dead store model, Sheila, Reg, and Babs stitching together the dress from threads made of their blood, along with several unattended sewing stations implied to be for future wearers of the dress. A fireman observes the destroyed store and discovers the dress undamaged amongst the rubble.

Kerblam!

The Thirteenth Doctor and her companions travel to Kerblam!, a galaxy-wide online shopping service consisting of automated warehouses, and a mostly robotic workforce known as "TeamMates". Under the guise of being new employees, the group attempt to find out who sent them a delivery with a call for help. They quickly learn from their new colleagues – Dan Cooper, the company's poster boy; Kira Arlo, a member of the dispatch team; and Charlie Duffy, a maintenance worker who loves Kira – that staff have been vanishing in recent months, and that the company has a strong culture of productivity. When Dan disappears while finding an order, the Doctor suspects something is wrong with the company's artificial intelligence and automated workforce.

Both human resource managers Judy Maddox and Jarva Slade quickly deny involvement when confronted about the disappearances. When Kira is abducted, the Doctor tracks her to the completely automated packaging and delivery floor, leading the group to gain access below. After finding the remains of the missing workforce and an army of TeamMates holding packages, the Doctor uses an early model of TeamMate to speak with Kerblam's AI. She quickly learns it called for her help directly, after suspecting something was wrong with its workforce. When Yasmin, Ryan and Charlie reveal they had witnessed Kira die when playing with bubble wrap, the Doctor discovers someone had weaponised the material, intending for it to be used upon Kerblam's customers.

Charlie quickly admits to being the culprit, explaining that Kira's death was not part of his plans. He reveals his motive was to prevent rampant automation making human workforces redundant. Gaining access to the company, Charlie used the missing staff as test subjects for his weaponised bubble wrap. He intended to use it upon the company's customers, knowing blame for the sudden deaths would be placed upon automation and a lack of human diligence. Realising the company's AI killed Kira to make Charlie understand the severity of his actions, the Doctor reprograms the TeamMates to deliver to themselves and pop the wrap. While the others leave, Charlie remains and perishes in the floor's destruction. In the wake of the incident, Maddox and Slade undertake to rebuild Kerblam with a mostly human workforce.

### Continuity

Towards the end of the episode, the Doctor uses her "Venusian Aikido" technique to paralyze Slade, which she had previously used to paralyze Epzo in "The Ghost Monument". Venusian Aikido was also used by the Third Doctor and Twelfth Doctor.

In the opening scene, the Doctor receives a package from Kerblam containing a fez, a reference to the Eleventh Doctor, who had a running gag of wearing them.

Later on, the Doctor says "Oh, talking of wasps, did I ever tell you about me and Agatha Christie?" alluding to the episode "The Unicorn and the Wasp", in which the Tenth Doctor meets the author in circumstances involving a Vespiform, an alien that resembles a giant wasp.

Time to Get Cereal

South Park residents Jimbo Kern and Ned Gerblansky track what they believe to be a bear through a field, which is revealed to be Tegridy Farms, the property of Randy and Sharon Marsh. Suddenly, Ned is attacked by a monster called ManBearPig (a creature first referenced in the episode of the same name) and is carried away in his jaws in front of Jimbo, Randy, and the latter's son, Stan, an incident that Stan relates to his friends.

A schoolmate of Stan's named Collin Brooks is found dead in the schoolyard of South Park Elementary School. Thinking it was another school shooting, Park County Police investigator Sergeant Yates goes to the school, irritated that his time playing ''Red Dead Redemption 2'', which is repeatedly referenced by other characters in the episode, is being infringed on by the local children. Despite the mutilated and partially eaten remains, Yates continues to regard Brooks' death as a shooting. His suspicions fall on Stan and his friends Eric Cartman, Kenny McCormick, and Kyle Broflovski, for which Yates eventually issues arrest warrants.

More bodies are found in the woods, and ManBearPig eventually begins attacking groups of people in eating establishments in broad daylight. Despite this, some members of the public continue to express skepticism of ManBearPig's existence, and question what could possibly be done about it now. As the attacks continue, Yates and his wife, Maggie, suffer the stress of the investigation, especially as it infringes upon the free time he would rather spend playing his video game.

Remembering that former U.S. Vice President Al Gore was an investigator in the existence of ManBearPig, Stan and his friends go to him to enlist his help. Gore angrily recalls when the boys and the rest of the public ridiculed and ignored him when he tried to warn them about the creature in that prior episode and says that they should have heeded his warnings back then. After acceding to Gore's demand for an apology and extended praise and groveling, Gore decides to help them. He tells the boys that ManBearPig is a demon sent by the Devil for unknown reasons. The group sacrifices a goat in a demonic ritual in order to summon Satan, who leads the group to the local library to research the creature. There, Satan learns that ManBearPig is a Sifter of Fate, a demon that appears every few generations to exploit mankind's weaknesses by making a deal with someone in town. Yates and the police surround the library and order the boys to surrender. Stan pleads with the police, telling them that Al Gore was right all along, and that this time, they all need to admit that they were wrong. Yates ignores Stan and arrests the boys, much to the horror of Stan's grandfather Grampa Marsh, who watches the event on television, and says to himself, "What have I done?"

The Green Knight (film)

On Christmas morning, Gawain is awakened in a brothel by his lover, a common woman named Essel. He returns to Camelot, where he is scolded by his mother (she is not named, but is implied to be Morgan le Fay). Gawain attends a feast at the Round Table with his uncle King Arthur, who invites Gawain to sit at his right hand. Elsewhere, in a tower, le Fay performs a magic rite which summons the mysterious Green Knight. He barges into Arthur's court and states that any knight who lands a blow on him will win his green axe but must travel to the Green Chapel and receive an equal blow in return on the following Christmas. Gawain takes up the challenge. The Knight yields and Gawain, wielding Excalibur, decapitates him. The Knight rises and retrieves his severed head, repeats the requisite date to Gawain and rides away.

Gawain revels all year; Arthur reminds him to uphold his side of the challenge. Gawain departs on horseback for the Green Chapel; he takes the green axe and he wears a green girdle given to him by his mother. She says that as long as he wears it, he shall suffer no harm. On his journey, he crosses a battlefield littered with dead warriors, where he meets a scavenging boy. The boy directs Gawain to a stream that leads to the Green Chapel, and asks for payment. Gawain flips him a single coin. Shortly afterwards, the boy and two others ambush Gawain and steal the axe, girdle and horse, leaving Gawain tied up. He crawls to his sword and uses it to cut the ropes binding his hands and then he pursues them. At nightfall, Gawain arrives at an abandoned cottage and falls asleep in its bed. He is awakened by a young woman named Winifred, who asks Gawain to retrieve something that she's lost, from a nearby spring. He asks what he will receive in return but is rebuffed. He finds her skull and unites it with her skeletal remains and the next morning finds the axe has been returned to him.

Gawain befriends a fox who accompanies him on his journey. They reach a castle inhabited by Lord Bertilak de Hautdesert, who informs him that the Green Chapel is nearby, and Gawain accepts his invitation to stay. The Lord's lady resembles Essel; she makes seductive overtures toward Gawain. The two men agree that de Hautdesert will trade the prize from his hunt for whatever Gawain receives at the castle. The next morning, the Lady presents Gawain with the green girdle, which she claims to have made herself; in exchange for it, Gawain accedes to her advances. Gawain flees and encounters the Lord in the forest, who gives him a kiss. The Lord reveals that he has captured Gawain's fox and releases it; Gawain does not offer the girdle. Gawain reaches a stream where a boat is waiting. The fox speaks to Gawain; it says, "Your doom is at hand," and implores him to turn back. Gawain chases off the fox and takes the boat to the chapel, where the Knight sits in hibernation. Gawain waits through the night, and the Green Knight awakens on Christmas morning.

The Green Knight swings the axe and Gawain flinches. The Knight chides him. Gawain kneels for the blow again but at the last moment he scrambles away. He imagines fleeing back to Camelot and becoming king after Arthur's death. In Gawain's reverie, Essel bears his son, but Gawain abandons her, takes the child and marries a noblewoman instead. His son comes of age and dies in battle. Many years later, Gawain has become a reviled king. His castle is under siege and his family abandons him; he removes the green girdle (which he had worn since re-obtaining it from the Lady), and his head falls from his shoulders.

Back in the present in the Green Chapel, Gawain kneels and removes the girdle, and tells the Knight that he is ready. The Knight praises Gawain for his bravery, then drags his finger across Gawain's throat, says, "Now, off with your head", and smiles kindly.
